Information on the forthcoming call within the MSCA initiative
Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine, NRFU informs about forthcoming call within Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) of Pillar I Excellent Science under Horizon Europe to be open on 27 March 2025: MSCA Staff Exchanges 2025 (HORIZON-MSCA-2025-SE-01-01). The deadline date is 08 October 2025.
MSCA Staff Exchanges promote innovative international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration in research and innovation through exchanging staff and sharing knowledge and ideas at all stages of the innovation chain. The scheme fosters a shared culture of research and innovation that welcomes and rewards creativity and entrepreneurship and helps turn ideas into innovative products, services or processes. It is open to research, technical, administrative and managerial staff supporting R&I activities.
MSCA Staff Exchanges involve organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (including SMEs) from across the globe. Support is provided for international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility of R&I staff leading to knowledge transfer between participating organisations. The organisations constituting the partnership contribute directly to the implementation of a joint R&I project by seconding and/or hosting eligible staff members. Such a project must explore activities that can be based on previous work but should go beyond and generate or strengthen long-term collaborations. Secondments must involve physical mobility of the eligible staff members and must always take place between legal entities independent from each other.
To learn more about the call, as well as information for searching for partners to form a consortium, follow the link.
Meanwhile, Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine reminds that the funding policy for participation in calls under the MSCA has its own specifics, described in detail in a special Financial Guide.
We also note that the European Commission suggests studying the project application templates in advance, in particular for the MSCA Staff Exchanges.
Please note that in case you have any questions about the terms of participation in this call, as well as for examples of successful projects under this type of funding, please send a request to the Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine email address: horizoneurope.info@nrfu.org.ua.
