Call for applications 2025
With Rectoral Decree n. DR n. 407/2025, the University of Pisa has launched MSCA Seal of Excellence @UNIPI 2025 – Call for applications to attract young researchers to carry out research projects of a high international standard.
MSCA Seal of Excellence @UNIPI 2025 is aimed at researchers, of any nationality, who have:
• submitted a project proposal under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF) 2024 call,
• indicated UNIPI as a beneficiary,
• received the "Seal of Excellence (SoE) - MSC Actions” from the European Commission, by having obtained a score of at least 85/100, despite not having been funded due to budget constraints.
The University will award up to five two-year research fellowships to as many SoE holders with an annual amount of 40,000 Euro, and will allocate additional 10,000 Euro to the structure hosting the fellowship, as budget to start the project.
