The European Commission's funding body CORDIS has released calls for proposals for three types of fellowship under its Framework Programme 7.

The three fellowships are suitable for experienced researchers (see the work programme at the links below for full eligibility), and are open to those who wish to resume a career in research after a break as well as those actively involved in research. The three fellowships support projects lasting between 12 and 24 months, and all hold a strong emphasis on mobility. They are as follows:

Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships for Career Development - to fund projects submitted by promising researchers moving between host organisations in Member States or associated countries (see website for information on EU Member States and associated countries).

Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowships - to fund projects submitted by researchers moving from another third country to a host organisation in a Member State or associated country.

Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowships - to fund projects submitted by researchers moving to a host organisation in another third country from a Member State or associated country.

Proposals to all three fellowships must be submitted by 11 August 2011.
