Categories of Marie Curie Fellowships accepted by CES:
- Bolsas Intra-europeias / Intra-European Fellowships (IEF)
The Intra-European Fellowships action aims to increase the mobility of experienced researchers across Member States and associated countries, where they wish to develop their individual research activity. These fellowships aim to encourage the development of a research career by experienced researchers and researchers resuming their research activity after a pause, providing them the possibility of learning new research methods and conducting inter-sector experiences.

- Bolsas Internacionais de Entrada / International Incoming Fellowships (IIF)
The International Incoming Fellowships action aims to promote the integration of researchers of any nationality, residing in other third country, within the European research area, allowing them to develop their research projects, be trained and acquire new knowledge in European organizations.
The International Incoming Fellowships action also aims to assist researchers to return, for the duration of up to one year, to an organization from an other third country, within the European space, allowing them to share the acquired experience during the period of international mobility.

- Bolsas Internacionais de Saída / International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF)
The International Outgoing Fellowships action aims to reinforce the international dimension of the career of European researchers by giving them the opportunity to be trained and acquire new knowledge in a high-level research organisation established in an other third country. Subsequently, these researchers will return with the acquired knowledge and experience to an organisation in a Member State or associated country. More information at:
