MSCA Sweden offers secondments, training (courses and workshops) and individual career development. The focus is on how to create usefulness from research (impact, exploitation) and relevant values for showing that the research activity intends to make more than publishing. A research fellow with training in impact will have better merits than those who mainly publish.

We are available for both MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship as well as part of MSCA Doctoral Network (associated partner and training).

Our location is Linköping, Sweden. We have partnerships at many places in Sweden where you can visit as part of training. Linköping is located very conviniently to most cities in Sweden which can be reach by train (1.5-5 hrs depending on location). Linköping also has its own airport. Within 6 hours you can be at many cities in Europe. There is also a train to Berlin or Hamburg.
