1. What is [PEGASUS]²?
International and/or intersectoral mobility have become an essential part of today’s research
career since they are an indispensable catalyst for individual enrichment, a higher quality of
research, and internationalisation of research in general. With [PEGASUS]², destined for
experienced postdoctoral researchers, the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) aims to
enhance human capital in fundamental research in all scientific areas by attracting more
excellent foreign researchers to Flanders via incoming fellowships, as well as by bestowing
researchers in Flanders with increased international experience via outgoing fellowships.
Within the programme, there are two types of fellowships:
-
INCOMING [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships: a regular 3-year
postdoctoral fellowship for researchers that are currently performing research abroad
and wish to continue their research career in the Flemish Community.
-
OUTGOING [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships: a regular 3-year
postdoctoral fellowship of which the first 2 years are spent at a foreign academic or
non-academic research institution and the third return year at a Flemish university to
which the applicant is affiliated for the total period of the fellowship.
This [PEGASUS]² programme is co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research
and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 665501.
A link to funding opportunities and calls cofounded by the Marie Curie Actions of the
European Commission is available on the EU Cordis Website under
http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/people/cofund_en.html
Note: The guidelines in this document specifically apply to the INCOMING
[PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships.
2. What is an INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellowship?
The INCOMING [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships are specifically intended
for:
•
foreign postdoctoral researchers who wish to carry out their research in the
Flemish Community.
•
postdoctoral researchers of Belgian nationality who are currently conducting
research abroad and wish to continue their research in the Flemish Community.
The goal of the INCOMING [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships is to attract
more excellent international postdoctoral researchers to Flanders and as such contribute to the
FWO strategic goal of keeping Flemish research in line with international standards. Besides
the internationalization of Flemish research, FWO wants to encourage transnational research
mobility in general.
3
Guide for INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE fellow applicants
25/09/2015
The [PEGASUS]² MSCA programme offers incoming fellows a unique opportunity to boost
their career by providing support and training all within an optimal research environment and
the best working conditions. On the one hand these fellowships aim at improving the
researchers’ skills in their specific research domain, via acquisition of new methods and
techniques, interaction with Flemish group members and mentoring. On the other hand these
incoming fellows will benefit from the intellectual and socio-cultural exchange with their
peers and the immersion in a highly qualified international environment. As such, the fellows
will enhance their transferable skills, improve their research competencies, resulting in a more
attractive profile for the general job market.
3.
Who can apply for an INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellowship?
3.1
Nationality
The [PEGASUS]²-programme is open to all nationalities.
3.2

For the call with deadline 1 February 2016, the PhD must have been obtained no later
than 1 June 2016. For the call with deadline 1 May 2016, the PhD must have been
obtained no later than 1 November 2016.
3.3
Seniority
Applicants must apply within 3 years after obtaining their PhD calculated from June 1st 2016
(for call with deadline 1 February 2016) or November 1st 2016 (for call with deadline 1 May
2016).
For more requirements and details concerning the seniority, please carefully read Article 2
and Article 5 of the Regulations for the INCOMING [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie
fellowships.
3.3
Incoming mobility requirements
Candidates for the INCOMING [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships should
not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Belgium for more
than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the start of the fellowship.
3.4.
Restrictions on resubmissions
You cannot apply for a [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship of which you have
previously, even if only partially, been the beneficiary. Researchers who previously were
4
Guide for INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE fellow applicants
25/09/2015
granted a Pegasus-long fellowship, are not allowed to submit in this [PEGASUS]²
programme.
Only one application for a [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship can be
submitted per calendar year. It is as such not allowed to submit an application for a
[PEGASUS]² MSCA fellowship both for the call with deadline on 1 February 2016 and 1
May 2016. Moreover, it is not possible to apply for a [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie
fellowship and a regular FWO postdoctoral fellowship in the same year.
You cannot apply more than twice for a postdoctoral fellowship at FWO. [PEGASUS]² Marie
Skłodowska-Curie fellowships are in this regard considered as regular postdoctoral
fellowships.
Beneficiaries of a [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship as an initial FWO
postdoctoral fellowship can no longer apply for an initial regular postdoctoral fellowship with
the FWO, but they can apply for renewal of a postdoctoral fellowship. Such postdoctoral
renewal must follow immediately on the [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship
and should therefore be requested in the last fellowship year.


Eligible host institution
Eligible Flemish host institution
In order to be eligible, applicants need to be affiliated for the full 3-year period to a university
in the Flemish Community, possibly in collaboration with a Flemish or federal scientific
institution in Belgium where they conduct their research. It is the responsibility of the
applicants to identify a suitable host institution in Flanders, and a suitable research unit where
they can carry out their research. The head of the Flemish host institution will be invited by
the FWO to write a letter of recommendation.
The eligible host institutions are the universities of the Flemish Community:
- KU Leuven www.kul.be
- Ghent University (UGent) www.ugent.be
- University of Antwerp (UA) www.ua.ac.be
- Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) www.vub.ac.be
- Hasselt University (UHasselt) www.uhasselt.be
The research may also be carried out in close collaboration with a Flemish or federal scientific
institution (IMEC, VIB, VITO, iMinds, Institution of Tropical Medicine, …), but always
under the supervision and responsibility of a Flemish university.
The research may be conducted in collaboration with the non-academic sector in the Flemish
Community. In such case, firstly the project, including the portion conducted in the nonacademic sector, must cover fundamental research. Secondly, the head supervisor must be an
Independent Academic Staff member of the Flemish host institution to which the fellow
remains affiliated. Thirdly, the intellectual property of the results must be governed by a
partnership agreement concluded between the non-academic and Flemish host institution prior
to the start of the research in the non-academic host institution.
3.6.
Application eligibility criteria
You must submit your application in English before the deadline using the appropriate forms
in the FWO e-portal (e-loket). You must also complete all your personal data in the FWO eportal, such as your nationality, previous occupations, bibliography, etc. The administration
might contact you during the eligibility check to further evidence some of this personal
information. The application must be complete and in compliance with the FWO regulations
on External Peer Review:
For the remote evaluation by the external referees, the applicant has to propose ten experts in
the ‘Referees’ section of the application form. In order to avoid conflict of interest, the
external referee must meet several criteria laid out in regulations on External Peer Review .
Make sure to read these very carefully. In a nutshell: under no circumstances can an external
6
Guide for INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE fellow applicants
25/09/2015
referee be a member of an Expert Panel or of the Board of Trustees of the FWO. Nor is he/she
allowed to have any collaboration or co-authored publications with the applicant within the
last three years prior to the application (calculated from the first of January in the year n-3).
Make also sure you do not list referees with a Belgian affiliation nor referees affiliated to the
host institution where you were performing research in the last three years preceding
submission (calculated from 1 January n-3). All other relations with the referee should be
avoided. There should be no communication at all on the proposal between the applicant and
the listed external referee during the submission and evaluation process. Non-compliance
with these regulation will result in ineligibility!

Financial details
For the INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellows with a non-Belgian nationality: a
tax free contract (with full social security coverage) for a period of 3 years with
attractive salary or grant equivalent to the net monthly salary of a PhD Assistant at a
Flemish university.
For the INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellows with the Belgian nationality: an
employment contract for a period of 3 years with attractive salary equivalent to the net
monthly salary of a PhD Assistant at a Flemish university.
Mobility allowance of € 600/month during the entire fellowship. This mobility
allowance may be used for all kind of costs related to the relocation and stay of the
researcher and his/her family in the host country (e.g. travel expenses of the family in
first degree, extra luggage expenses, children’s day care, housing, …). In practice, the
mobility allowance will not be deposited monthly to the fellow’s bank account. The
yearly sum of € 7.200 will be deposited for 80% (€ 5.760) at the start of each
fellowship year and the remaining 20% (€ 1.440) at the end of each fellowship year,
after submitting a financial report at FWO.
Annual bench fee of € 4.000 for research, training and research-related travel costs.
The purchase of small research equipment is allowed. Medium size and large
infrastructure, however, are to be provided for by the host institution.
One-time allowance for travel expenses to and from Belgium for the fellow.
The research fellows receive an FWO contract, but work at a university or research
performing institution. The Flemish host institution has to guarantee that it will provide the
applicant with appropriate working conditions (e.g. office/lab space, access to appropriate
equipment and material, etc.).
The FWO limits the time its fellows can spend on tasks other than their research, and thus
contributes to an optimal working environment. At the beginning of every academic year,
fellows have to list their assignments other than research.
For more details concerning part time research employment, etc. please carefully read Articles
12 and 13 of the Regulations for the INCOMING [PEGASUS]² Marie Skłodowska-Curie
fellowships.
5.2
Social Security and insurances
As an INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellow you will receive a salary or grant with full
Belgian social security coverage. The third-party liability of fellows and an occupational
accident insurance is also covered by a collective insurance policy taken out by the FWO.
11
Guide for INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE fellow applicants
25/09/2015
However, you must adhere to an existing Belgian health insurance on your own initiative.
Throughout your entire stay abroad you are covered by travel accident insurance with
repatriation. During your entire fellowship you must obtain a domicile, stay and work permit
in Belgium. You are an employee of the FWO during your entire fellowship.
The salary of the fellows takes into account the seniority of the researcher, as evidenced by
certificates of former employers. The employment conditions are aligned with the European
Charter and Code.
The FWO will offer expertise to cope with various questions asked by (resident and
international) researchers pertaining to social security regulations. Full support is given to
fellowship holders, in order for them to focus maximally on their research. That includes the
handling by FWO of problems concerning international mobility issues (e.g. scientific visa,
transfer of social security, etc.).
5.3
Part time research
INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellowships are full-time employment contracts. In
exceptional cases, and depending on the formal agreement of the host institution, part-time
fellowships may be granted for thoroughly motivated reasons.
5.4
Maternity leave
Holders of an INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellowship are entitled to the legal maternity
leave of 15 weeks. In this case, their fellowship is also extended with 9 full months, which
brings the total duration to 4 years. Per fellowship term there is only one extension allowed.
There are also flexible regulations for parental leave.
5.5
Holidays
The holiday periods are indicated in the regulations of your Flemish host institution and are
established in consultation with your Flemish departmental head. You must inform the FWO

Commitments of the INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellow
6.1
Visa and related authorizations
As an INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellow you may need visa and related authorizations
(residence and work permit etc.) before entering Belgium. You will have to take care of these
documents yourself. It is recommended to contact the local EURAXESS Service Centre
(contact persons: see http://www.euraxess.be/servicescentres.asp) as soon as possible after the
submission of your [PEGASUS]² application. This enables you to receive the information
about documents and procedures well in advance in order to submit your visa request
12
Guide for INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE fellow applicants
25/09/2015
immediately after the communication of the [PEGASUS]² funding decision. For procedures
concerning the visa application, refer to the Belgian embassy (or delegation) in your country
(if any) of destination and make sure you calculate sufficient time for such procedures.
6.2.
Dissemination of research results
Peer reviewed publications
The dissemination and transfer of knowledge is a key added-value of research. Results should
be published actively in peer reviewed publications and presented in scientific conferences.
The capacity to publish is an essential criterion to build up a future research career. The
publication of research results should only be restricted in well justified cases by the host
institutions. It is a joint responsibility of the applicants and their scientific contacts to aim for
publications in top scientific journals in their field, to improve career prospects after the
[PEGASUS]² grant.
Open access
As an INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellow you must ensure open access (free of charge
online access for any user) to all peer reviewed scientific publications relating to the results of
your research. The publications that result from the FWO subsidies should be published in a
public “Open Access” database, within six months from the date of publication, in order to
effect greater impact and valorization of your work (for Social sciences and Humanities,
within 12 months). You are also advised to publish your other publications in such an "Open
Access" database, the so-called "Open Archives", together with the research data that resulted
in these publications.
Public engagement activities
Furthermore, the FWO encourages all fellows to make the results of their research known to a
wider audience, and to valorize them where possible and relevant. In your application, you
must describe the public engagement activities you will included in your project in order to
create awareness among the general public of the research work performed and its
implications for citizens and society. The type of outreach activities could range from press
articles and participating in events to presenting science, research and innovation activities to
students from primary and secondary schools or universities in order to develop their interest
in research careers. Other possibilities might include 'open days' or videos, which would
enable the public to see where and how the research is undertaken. You will need to outline
the frequency and nature of outreach activities in your application form.
During the fellowship, you will be asked to submit yearly reports on your scientific activities
to the FWO in which you need to indicate which actions you have undertaken in the context
of science communication and science in society.
Intellectual properties
Intellectual properties rights of research results arising from this [PEGASUS]² fellowship
belong to the Flemish university/host institution by virtue of the Flemish Higher Education
Code of 11 October 2013 (Art. IV 48).
Acknowledgement of [PEGASUS]² funding
Holders of a [PEGASUS]² fellowship carry the official title “FWO [PEGASUS]² Marie
Skłodowska-Curie Fellow”. Financial support from FWO and the EU must be acknowledged
13
Guide for INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE fellow applicants
25/09/2015
in all publications and other forms of media communication by including the following text in
any dissemination of results (in any form, including electronic): “This project has received
funding from the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) and the European Union’s Horizon
2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement
No 665501.”
6.3
Scientific integrity
The FWO watches over the scientific integrity from the moment research funding is applied
for until the execution of the research and the publication of the research results. Therefore,
researchers benefiting from FWO support as well as their host institutions, (co-)promoters and
other collaborators involved in FWO research are required to adhere to the scientific integrity
at all times.
To this end, elementary rules of behaviour have been laid down in the Ethical Code for
scientific research in Belgium and the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.
Both documents are included in the call for research proposals. The FWO assumes that each
researcher has acknowledged these codes from the moment the application is submitted and
undertakes to comply with their provisions in all stages of the proposed research. This also
applies to their host institutions, (co-)promoters and collaborators involved in FWO research,
for whom the applicant bears partial responsibility.
If there is any doubt about the applicability or implementation of a provision, the host
institution and/or the researcher responsible for the project or fellowship at hand will contact
the FWO administration in order to clarify or make concrete arrangements about the relevant
provision.
6.4
Ethical issues management
In line with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European
Convention on Human Rights and its Supplementary Protocols, FWO can ensure that all
research activities carried out under the proposed programme will be conducted in compliance
with fundamental ethical principles of the European H2020 and Belgian legislation.
As an applicant, you are therefore requested to indicate in an Ethical Issues Table included in
the application form which ethical issues apply to your project and how you will address these
ethical issues. All applicants conducting experiments with animals/humans and/or studying
ethically sensitive issues must submit their application to the ethical committee of the host
institution(s) which will perform an in-depth ethical assessment. This ethical committee will
investigate the application and make a recommendation. This recommendation is sent to the
FWO prior to the start of the [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellowship. Under no circumstances can
the research activity be initiated without the positive advice of the ethical committee. In
certain particular cases, involving for example Human Embryonic Stem Cells, advice will be
asked from the European Commission services.
6.5
Reporting
As an INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellow, you must submit a report on your scientific
activities to the FWO at the end of each academic year. A copy of this report must be sent to
the head of the institution to which you are affiliated.

Evaluation Questionnaire
As an INCOMING [PEGASUS]² MSCA fellow, you have the obligation to complete and
submit — at the end of the research activities — the evaluation questionnaire and — two
years later — follow-up questionnaire provided by the European Commission. The FWO
might also invite you to participate in an evaluation survey of the [PEGASUS]² MSCA
programme.
