IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) Invitation

The IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) was launched in 2020 by the IAEA Director General to increase the number of women in the nuclear field, supporting an inclusive workforce of men and women who contribute to and drive global scientific and technological innovation.

The programme aims to inspire and encourage women to pursue a career in the nuclear related field, by providing highly motivated female students with scholarships for master’s programmes and an opportunity to pursue an internship facilitated by the IAEA. Scholarships are awarded annually.
In the selection of students, consideration is given to geographic and field of study diversity, in addition to eligibility requirements and other criteria. The selected students are awarded up to €20,000 for tuition costs and up to €20,000 for living costs for their master’s programme (the amount will vary depending on the duration of the programme, costs associated with tuition as well as location of the studies). Upon completion of their studies, students who pursue an internship facilitated by the IAEA, in line with their specialization in the nuclear field, are also provided with a stipend for up to 12 months. The internships may take place at the IAEA or in nuclear organizations in the public or private sector. 

Since its launch in 2020, MSCFP has received 2271 applications, selecting 560 students from 121 nationalities studying in 72 countries worldwide. By end of March 2024, 201 students have already completed their master’s programme with support of MSCFP.  From these graduates, 110 have been confirmed for an internship facilitated by the IAEA at the IAEA departments and labs (Seibersdorf and Monaco), IAEA Collaborating Centres, and other nuclear organizations in the public or private sector in various countries.

Erasmus+ scholarships (fourth semester only)

The fourth semester is dedicated to the internship in preparation for the Master’s thesis. Students who would like to work on their Master’s thesis at a  university or company in a European country (other than Germany) that participates in the Erasmus+ programme can apply for the Erasmus+ scholarship specifically for internships via the TU Dortmund University.

More details concerning the monthly stipend, application deadlines and other important information can be found on the webpage of the international office of the TU Dortmund University. You can also contact Laura Hope at the international office for more details concerning the scholarships.

Please note that IMAPP students are unfortunately not eligible for Erasmus+ scholarships in the first three semesters of the IMAPP programme.
