Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) are a set of major mobility research grants created by the  European Union/European Commission to support research in the European research Area (ERA). Established in 1996 as Marie Curie Actions and known since 2014 as Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, the fellowship program aims to foster the career development and further training of researchers at all career stages. These grants promote interdisciplinary research and international collaborations, supporting scientists from not only within Europe but also across the globe. MSCA fellowships are among Europe’s most competitive and prestigious awards, aimed to support the best, most promising scientists. 

MSCA is currently financed through the eighth of the Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development (called Horizon 2020) and belongs to the so-called first pillar: namely, "Excellent Science." In this funding scheme, the European Research Council (ERC) has devoted over €6 billion to the grant program.
