Seal of Excellence
This initiative is about matching investment/funding interests with project proposals that already are evaluated but not yet funded.
Do you have an investment interest to build research ecosystem as a strategic concept? Contact us.
Each year the European Commission funds the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship. This is one of the most competitive individual research grants in Europe. Researchers apply together with a host institution, presenting a detailed research and career development plan.
Recent numbers:
2025: 17,066 submitted — 1,610 funded — 9,847 Seal of Excellence
2024: 10,360 submitted — 1,696 funded — 2,939 Seal of Excellence
2023: 8,039 submitted — 1,249 funded — 1,737 Seal of Excellence
Seal of Excellence is awarded to proposals that passed the quality threshold but were not funded due to budget limitations. The evaluation is done by independent European experts. The researchers behind these proposals are capable, motivated, and currently without a position for their planned research.
We can create matching interests.
