Last week, the results of the Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions Individual Fellowships (MSCA-IF) were published. We are pround to announce that two excellent researchers who applied to visit our centre (Dr. Silvia Panizza and Doc. Olli Lagerspetz) were successful in getting the fellowships.
With two successful projects, our Centre will host the same number of Marie Curie fellows as, for example, the entire Masaryk University in Brno. We congratulate both our colleagues for their hard work in writing the applications.
