Are you leading a European project within a doctoral or postdoctoral programme, or are you considering (re)submitting a project soon? ABG can support you as a partner or contributor on an ongoing project.
Since 2017, ABG has been labeled as a "Euraxess Career Development Center" by the European Commission. We participate in various types of European projects serving researchers, in which we deploy our expertise around doctoral training, career development, and mobility.
The successful reception of international scientific talent also depends on ambitious European initiatives, such as the Choose Europe for Science initiative led by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). This new initiative, launched in May 2025 with a budget of 500 million euros for 2025-2027, aims to strengthen Europe's attractiveness for international researchers by offering sustainable integration prospects and long-term funding.

"Career Development Day": half-day training dedicated to exploring the European job market and developing professional projects
Focus on our strengthened collaboration: On November, 19 & 20 2024, Dr. Kristina Berkut (ABG) participated in an event organized by Genopole, ABG, the University of Évry, and the European Commission to offer postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to reflect on their professional future. This "Career Development Day" was structured in two parts: morning dedicated to workshops and personalized advice, followed by a networking session. This collaboration perfectly illustrates ABG's commitment to concrete support for European researchers.
With over thirty collaborations since 2020 (Currently, we are partners in more than 16 projects funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)), ABG has implemented a variety of actions within several types of European projects, in collaboration with numerous partners. Therefore, who better than these partners and project leaders can speak about it?
