LaTeX class and template for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellow grant applications.
- Details and original template is provided here (calls are updated each year).
- For a
docx
version of the template, you must start the submission process. The template will then be available on the left-hand side in a section named "Download Part B templates". - For a similar template for the Doctoral Network see msca-dn.
Caution: Only the 2022 template was submitted and deemed eligible by the Horizon program. Newer versions are simply updated based on the official template. Reporting any discrepancies is highly appreciated!
The official MSCA guidelines require the Times New Roman font on Windows or
macOS and the Nimbus Roman font on Linux. When using PDFLaTeX this package
uses the mathptmx
font. When using XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, we try to load
the Times New Roman font and, if it is not available, the Nimbus Roman font.
If these do not work for you, you can load fonts yourself using e.g.
% on PDFLaTeX
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage{newtxmath}
% on XeLaTeX / LuaLaTeX
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
The resulting PDF files are included for easy viewing, but it is recommended to build the two parts with e.g. latexmk as follows
latexmk -pdflua msca-pf-part-b1-template.tex
latexmk -pdflua msca-pf-part-b2-template.tex
This packages provides the msca-pf
class that is based on the
KOMA-script scrartcl
class and accepts any options meant for it. It can
be used as
\documentclass[11pt,layoutgrid,draftproposal]{msca-pf}
% ... preamble ...
\begin{document}
% ... content ...
\end{document}
The class has two options meant for drafting:
layoutgrid
: overlays a grid on top of each page to check margins and other alignment issues.draftproposal
: adds helpful drafting options, such as line numbers and a time stamp.
It also provides a few useful commands that can be used in the proposal:
mscaidentifier
: the call identifier, e.g.HORIZON-MSCA-2022-PF-01
.mscaproject
: the acronym for the project.msctable
: a wrapper aroundtabular
that can be used in the exact same way, but imposes a consistent font size and formatting for tables.msclongtable
: a wrapper aroundlongtable
similar tomsctable
(allows tables across multiple pages).cvitem
: used as\cvline{dates}{main}{details}{location}
to add a simple line to the required CV.cvdetail
: used as\cvdetail{name}{description}
to add properly aligned comments to entries.cvpub
: used as\cvpub{date}{authors}{title}{journal}
to add a publication.
