About our Fellowship Programme

ELITE-S is a Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND Action for an intersectoral training, career development and mobility fellowship programme based at the ADAPT Centre in Dublin City University and its academic partners.

Applications are open to researchers of any nationality.

At the time of the call deadlines, applicants must possess a doctoral degree or have at least four years of full-time equivalent (FTE) research experience in academia or industry, and they must not have carried out their main activity (work or study) in Ireland for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the call deadline.

Proposals must be aligned to one of the technology and application areas addressed by the ELITE-S Programme and include standards studies. The topics addressed by ELITE-S are in line with the 5 EU priority areas: 5G, Internet of Things, Cloud computing, Cybersecurity and Data Technologies.

Depending on the choice of supervisor, the Fellowship will be awarded such that the Fellow will be hosted in one of the academic partners, all affiliated with Adapt Centre.

Internationally respected in industry and academia, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship is a recognised mark of research excellence.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), named after the double Nobel Prize winning Polish-French scientist, famed for her work on radioactivity and aim to support researchers at all stages of their careers, irrespective of nationality.

Researchers at risk are those who have been displaced by conflict, or whose situation makes it difficult to pursue their research careers. ELITE-S will support these candidates from application stage.
