Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The real trap here is the « MSCA mobility rule »: what matters first is not nationality, but your residence and main activity history before recruitment. Next, prove the required master’s degree, doctoral eligibility, and B2 English in a clear, readable file, without scattering the application. Because the contract includes two mandatory secondments, check now whether your personal schedule can support a long stretch with co-supervision and then a non-academic organization. Submit a short, dated, verifiable file centered on those three blockers.
