Supervisors and favorably evaluated candidates are invited to the Arctic MSCA symposium. Note: Postdoctoral candidates residing outside Europe will be invited to join the symposium on a digital platform only (not invited physically to Tromsø as before). Candidates currently residing in Europe will have the opportunity to choose to join digitally or physically. |

| April-May |
The supervisor and candidate meet (virtually) to get to know each other's research competences, discuss the "two-way transfer of knowledge" that the planned postdoctoral research project will bring about, and the project plan for the MSCA-PF application. (The preliminary project plan proposed by the candidate in the EURAXESS ad may change as a result of these discussions.) |
