Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) key features
• Support the mobility, training and career development of researchers
from all over the world through excellent doctorates, postdoctoral
fellowships and collaborative projects
• Stimulating international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary
cooperation
• For researchers at every stage of their career
• Promotion of attractive working and employment conditions (financing
rate of up to 100%, Charter and Code)
• Support excellent research in all domains (bottom-up)
• Open to all organisations. Participation of non-academic sector strongly
encouraged, especially industry and SMEs
• Impacting researcher careers, organisations, structures

Policy objectives of MSCA (Horizon Europe regulation) • Equip researchers with new knowledge and skills through mobility and exposure across borders, sectors and disciplines • Enhance training and career development systems • Taking into account the European Charter and Code • Help laying foundations of Europe’s excellent research, contributing to boosting jobs, growth and investment and solving current and future societal challenges The information in this presentation is still subject to change
Horizon Europe. MSCA 2021-2027
Overall message: continuation
1. MSCA Doctoral Networks → networks training PhD candidates
2. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships → postdoctoral researchers
3. MSCA Staff Exchanges → any type of research(-related) staff
4. MSCA COFUND → co-funding for training programmes
5. MSCA and Citizens → public outreach events

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships
• Main Objectives:
• Foster excellence through implementation of research project
• Enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers
holding a PhD (training on transferable skills & career
development)
• Focus on i3 (international, inter-sectoral, interdisciplinary)
mobility
• Bridges and exposure to the non-academic sector
The information in this presentation is still subject to change
MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships
• Mono-beneficiary action to support postdoctoral research and careers
• Architecture simplification - Two types of Fellowships:
• European Fellowships: researchers of any nationality moving within or coming to Europe
• Global Fellowships: European nationals or long-term residents in Europe to do research abroad
• Discontinuation of panels (Career Restart, Reintegration, Society and Enterprise) –
mainstreaming- replacement with incentives
• Continue funding all research domains including areas covered by EURATOM
• Improved guidance towards career development (plan & supervision)
• Recruited researchers – Target groups
• Mobility rule!!: must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the
country of the beneficiary (for EF), or the host organisation for the outgoing phase (for GF) for more
than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the call deadline.
• In possession of PhD degree at the call deadline
• Up to 8 years of research experience after PhD at the call deadline, with exceptions:
• Years outside research, career breaks, work outside Europe (for those reintegrating to
Europe) will not be counted

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships
• Who applies?
• Single legal entity established in an EU Member State or HE Associated country (specific
conditions for EURATOM areas), jointly with the researcher
• Duration
• European Fellowships: 12-24 months
• Global Fellowships: 24-36 months (12-24 outgoing + 12 months mandatory return phase
in Europe)
• Secondments worldwide up to 1/3 of the fellowship duration (outgoing phase for Global
Fellowships)
• Optional additional placement of up to 6 months in a non-academic European
organization, at the end of the fellowship (EF/GF) to build bridges between sectors
• Seal of Excellence continues
• Calls (TBC):
• 2021: 18 May – 15 Sept; 242 M€
• 2022: 14 Apr – 14 Sept; 257 M€
• Restrict resubmissions with score less than 70% to the following year (as of 2022)
