Within the Horizon Europe framework programme the European Commission awards the "Seal of Excellence - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions" to high quality MSCA - Postdoctoral Fellowship proposals scoring above the threshold of 85/100 or higher, which could not be funded under the available call budget. The Seal stands for the value of a project proposal in a highly competitive evaluation process, thus recommending it for funding by other sources, at national, regional or local level.

It is aimed at encouraging a wider participation by the most qualified international researchers in the Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships calls under Horizon Europe.

The Seal of Excellence @ UNIPD 2025 call is open from 20 December 2024 to 30 April 2025 – Link to the call.
