Megnyílt a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Staff Exchanges 2025 felhívása.
A pályázatok benyújtásának határideje 2025. október 8.
Az Európai Bizottság 97,7 millió eurót különít el mintegy 85 olyan projekt finanszírozására, amely elősegíti az EU-ban és világszerte működő szervezetek közötti együttműködést a kutatás és innováció területén.
Staff secondments
Secondments are the main method to foster cooperation among organisations participating in Staff Exchanges. Selected projects exchange and train researchers and innovators, as well as administrative, technical or managerial staff involved in research activities.
Participants go abroad for up to 12 months. By working in other organisations they gain new skills and competencies, expand their networks, exchange knowledge, and carry out cutting-edge research.
Increased funding
The EU grant for MSCA Staff Exchanges projects is in the form of unit costs for the mobility of staff. It contributes to the following expenses
- travel, accommodation and subsistence allowances
- research, training, transfer of knowledge, networking and management costs
Applicants for the 2025 call will benefit from an increased allowance, now raised from €4,600 to €5,010 per month for each mobilized staff member.
International consortia
Staff Exchanges enable organisations to build international partnerships with other leading organisations. They can strengthen long-term collaboration and increase their capacities.
Staff Exchanges projects are highly international, intersectoral projects, implemented by consortia involving several organisations from the EU, non-EU countries associated to the Horizon Europe programme and very often organisations from other non-EU countries (third countries).
Who can apply?
To be eligible, consortia must consist of at least three organisations from three different countries. Two of them must be located in different EU Member States or Horizon Europe associated countries. In addition, organisations from any country in the world can participate.
Organisations from all socioeconomic sectors in any country can apply to Staff Exchanges. This includes
- higher education institutions
- research institutions and infrastructures
- private sector organisations, including industry, businesses, and small and medium-sized enterprises
- public sector organisations, including national, regional, and local governments, agencies, and museums
- other socio-economic actors, including non-governmental organisations, charities, etc.
Participating organisations host and train seconded staff from other project partners in their own premises, and second staff abroad to other organisations in the consortium. However, the participation setup differs depending on where the organisation is based.
