Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The real trap here is the MSCA mobility rule, not nationality. Before drafting the application, reconstruct your last 36 months of residence and activity for the intended host country, because the check is made for Belgium for UMONS and for Finland for UVAASA. The right angle is not to pile up more academic evidence, but to document clearly the doctorate already obtained, the residence period, and the fit with a 30-month project including a 3- to 6-month secondment. The right move is to lock in your mobility eligibility first, then submit an application in English only through the platform before the deadline.
