Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (MSCA)

Description

MSCA is a European Mobility, Training and Career Development Program. It is based on "Bottom-up" topics and on transnational and transsectoral mobility. It is open to all nationalities. The aim is to acquire skills and abilities in the field of research and innovation.

Main Funding Schemes:

Innovative Training Networks (ITN)
ITNs are structured doctoral training programs for young researchers.
Depending on the objective, the application for a network is made by heterogeneous European consortia consisting of universities, research institutions, SMEs, industry, the public sector, etc.
Depending on the focus, the networks are subdivided into:

  • European Training Networks (ETNs)
  • European Industrial Networks (EID)
  • European Joint Doctorates (EJD)

PhD positions are advertised in relevant places within the frame of newly acquired and ongoing projects (examples include EURAXESS).

 

Individual Fellowships (IF)

IFs enable in-depth individual training of experienced scientists through transnational and transsectoral mobility.
The program is especially aimed at returnees from non-European countries.
The application is made jointly by the scientist and the host institution.

 

Funding Schemes:

  • European Fellowship (EF): Mobility within and into Europe
  • Global Fellowship (GF): Mobility outside of Europe with 12-month return phase.

Research and Innovation Staff Exchange

These are personnel exchange programs. The goal is to achieve innovation through mutual knowledge transfer.
