Budget 2014-2020: 6 162 million €
Education
and Culture
MSCA - strategic programming approach
Attract and retain research talent
Develop state-of-the-art, innovative training schemes,
consistent with the highly competitive and increasingly
inter-disciplinary requirements of research and innovation
Promote sustainable career development in research and
innovation
Focus on delivering new knowledge and skills, in line
with the key driver identified in the strategic programming
approach
Contribute to a strong partnership with MS via the cofunding mechanism
Education
and Culture
Key features of the MSCA part
Open to all domains of research and innovation from basic research up
to market take-up and innovation services
Entirely bottom-up
Participation of non-academic sector strongly encouraged, especially
industry and SMEs
Mobility as the key requirement - funding on condition participants move
from one country to another
Promotion of attractive working and employment conditions
Particular attention to gender balance
Public engagement of supported researchers
2014-2015: 9 calls foreseen -> one call per each MSC action per year +
one call covering 2 years of European Researchers' Night
Education
and Culture
Simplification
• Clear definitions of participants
Two sectors: academic/non-academic
Two groups: beneficiaries and partner organisations
• Broader understanding of industry involvement: participation
of businesses (including SMEs) and other socio-economic actors
• Streamlined definitions of supported researchers
ESR/ER
Staff members in RISE
• Mobility rules ~maintained (new Reintegration Panel
incorporated in the rules)
• Portability of IF grants
