The European Commission Horizon 2020: Excellent Science, under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions work programme, invites proposals for its H2020-MSCA-NIGHT-2018 Marie Sklodowska-Curie European researchers’ night call. This aims to bring researchers closer to the public and to increase awareness of research and innovation activities, with a view to supporting the public recognition of researchers, creating an understanding of the impact of researchers’ work on daily life and encouraging young people to embark on research careers. Proposals may be submitted for the topic of MSCA-NIGHT-2018.

Proposals may take the form of coordination and support actions, which require participation by at least one legal entity established in an EU member state or Horizon 2020 associated country. Legal entities established in a third country, who secure their own funding, may be included in the consortia.
