Call is open for Marie Curie international outgoing fellowships for career development. The main activities of an IOF will be based on a training-through-research project prepared by the experienced researcher in liaison with the host organisation. Experienced researchers of a Member States or Associated Countries are eligible to apply for this international fellowship.

Fellowships have duration of between 24 and 36 months (full time equivalent), with an initial outgoing phase of 12 to 24 months and a final mandatory reintegration phase of 12 months within the return host organisation.

This action provides financial support to an individual mobility project presented by an experienced researcher in liaison with a host organisation in the Member States or Associated Countries. Experienced researchers applying to this action need to develop a coherent research training project for the total duration of the contract that will enable the experienced researcher to progress in the development of his/her career. The fellowship is expected to be part of a structured, long-term personal career development plan that is coherent with past achievements and clearly defines the future aims of the researcher.
