InternationalAbout the IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme
The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) is an initiative by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to encourage more women to pursue careers in nuclear science and technology. The programme aims to create a diverse workforce that can contribute to the peaceful use of nuclear energy globally.
Selected fellows receive support for their Master's degree studies in fields related to nuclear science, technology, safety, and security. The programme is part of the IAEA's broader commitment to gender equality and capacity building within its Member States.
The fellowship provides financial coverage for tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of the Master's programme. Additionally, successful candidates may be offered an internship opportunity at the IAEA or its partner institutions to gain practical experience in the field.
Applicants must be female students accepted into or enrolled in an accredited Master's programme. The selection process is competitive and considers academic merit, the relevance of the field of study to the IAEA's mandate, and the potential for the candidate to contribute to the nuclear sector in their home country.
