There are three different individual fellowships available. A very brief summary of each scheme is listed below, along with a link to each calls specific webpage.

FP7-PEOPLE-2010-IEF <http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.PeopleDetailsCallPage&call_id=244>  - Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships for Career Development (IEF) 

This scheme is primarily designed to give experienced  researchers (at least 4 years full-time equivalent research experience counted from the time of obtaining an undergraduate degree, and already holding a PhD)  the opportunity to progress in their career by allowing them to from an institution in one 'Member State' or 'Associate Country' to a different 'Member State' or 'Associate Country'. 

FP7-PEOPLE-2010-IIF <http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.PeopleDetailsCallPage&call_id=242>  - Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowships (IIF) 

This scheme is designed to attract top-class researchers from 'Third Countries' (i.e. not a 'Member State' or 'Associated Country').  A list of 'Third Countries' can be found starting on page 12 of the IIF Guide for Applicants, which can be downloaded by following the link above. 

FP7-PEOPLE-2010-IOF <http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.PeopleDetailsCallPage&call_id=243>  - Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowships for Career Development (IOF) 

This scheme is to allow researchers from 'Member States' and 'Associated Countries' to attend a partner institution in a 'Third Country' for 12-14 months to acquire new skills and forge collaborations, and then bring them back to their host institution in a 'Member State' or 'Associated Country' for a mandatory 12 months, to allow for knowledge transfer. 

These schemes are an excellent way to recruit talented post-docs from around the world, or to send a current post-doc out to learn a useful new skill(s), which they can then bring back to the group. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
