Please note that applicants who have dual nationality are eligible
to apply for the MSCA Global Fellowship, as long as one of the nationalities they hold is that of a EU Member State or a Horizon
Europe Associated Country. A passport could be sufficient proof that
they are nationals of a EU Member State or a Horizon Europe Associated Country.
The MSCA Work
Programme 2023-2025 does not refer to the term ‘citizenship’, but to ‘nationals’. In particular, in the Work Programme 2023-2025 it is stated that “Global
Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to European nationals or
long-term residents who wish to engage in R&I projects with organisations
outside EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries.”
Furthermore, on p. 122 it states
that “researchers
going to a Third Country (Global Postdoctoral Fellowship) or researchers who
wish to reintegrate to Europe (i.e. in a EU Member State or Horizon Europe
Associated Country), must be nationals or long-term residents of EU Member
States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries.”
In the EU context the
terms “EU nationality” and “EU citizenship” are considered to be
interchangeable.
