Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) has launched the first call for applications for InterACT, an international postdoctoral fellowship programme co-funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe.
What is InterACT?
InterACT is a MSCA postdoctoral programme COFUNDed by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Horizon Europe).
InterACT will run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031 and will recruit 14 international postdoctoral researchers through two open calls. Selected researchers will be employed 36 months at VUB to carry out their projects, take part in training activities, collaborate with intersectoral and international experts, and showcase the implications of their results for EU, national, and regional policies.
WHO CAN APPLY?
InterACT welcomes applications from all fields of science. The research should focus on societal impact and engagement of stakeholders in the R&I activities.
The first call will recruit seven international postdoctoral researchers for a three-year fellowship, with a strong focus on interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration.
Researchers from all scientific disciplines are welcome to apply.
