TYPES OF MSCA INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIPS - Proposals for IF involve a single beneficiary located in a Member State (MS) or Associated Country (AC).
•	European Standard: proposals are submitted in one of the 8 scientific areas: Chemistry (CHE); Economic Sciences (ECO); Information Sciences and Engineering (ENG); Environmental and Geosciences (ENV); Life Sciences (LS); Mathematics (MAT); Physics (PHY); Social Sciences and Humanities (SOC). Each area has a separate ranking list.
•	European Career Restart: it is a multi-disciplinary panel of the EFs. The experienced researchers must have had a career break in research, i.e. they were not active  in research for a continuous period of at least 12 months within the eighteen months immediately prior to the deadline for submission of proposals;
•	European Reintegration: it is a multi-disciplinary panel of EFs. Researchers must be national or long term residents of one of the Member States or Associated Countries and must move or have moved directly from a Third Country to the Member State or Associated Country where the beneficiary is located;
•	Global Fellowships: this action is based on an outgoing period to a Third Country from 12 up to 24 months and a mandatory 12 months return period to a Host Organization located in a Member State or Associated Country. The mobility rule applies to the Partner Organization in the Third Country. The Outgoing phase in Global Fellowships is possible to any Third Country (TC).
