MSCA key features

Individual Fellowship
Objectives
Increase the creativity and innovative potential researchers
from any discipline and nationality, emphasising mobility
Provide opportunities to acquire new knowledge by working on
research projects in a European context and outside Europe
(training through research)
Scope
Individual and transnational fellowship awarded to the best
and most promising researchers
Focused on career development
Expected Impact
Extracting the full potential from researchers and achieve a
significant development in their careers in both academic and

4IF: main actors
Researcher
Supervisor: scientist appointed at the beneficiary to
supervise the researcher throughout the whole duration of the
action. Supervisor can be involved in more than one proposal
Host Institution (Beneficiary)

Country(AC)
recruits, hosts, and trains the researcher

5IF: Eligibility conditions
https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/other/guides_for_applicants/h2020-guide-appl-msca-if-2018-20_en.pdf
Canditates must be Experienced Researcher (ER)
ER must be in possession of a doctoral degree or have at
l e a s t 4 ye a r s o f f u l l - t i m e e q u i va l e n t r e s e a r c h
experience** at the time of the call deadline
**measured from the date when a researcher obtained the degree entitling him/her to embark on a doctorate
full-time equivalent research experience: PhD does not fully count as "full-time equivalent" research
experience. Since Phd Programmes are meant to cover research training, and not only research by
itself, the years you spent in the PhD Programme will be counted as “less than 100% research
activities”. Ask to your university to quote FTE research experience of your PhD.
Comply with a mobility rule: candidates must not have lived and/
or worked in the country of an Institution for a certain period of time
Special eligibility conditions for those resuming a career or returning to EU
Any Experienced Researcher may submit only one proposal

Mandatory to include in the application un up-to-date Letter of
Commitment from the Partner Organisation
19Secondments
20Secondments
During the IF, ER maybe seconded to any organisation in
MS or AC
Secondments:
Can be in the same sector (appreciated different sector, e.g. academic
to non-academic)
Must be justified: provide additional training and contribute
significantly to the impact of the IF
Can be split into several shorter periods
No letter of commitment is required for secondment HI
Can be in an Institution in the same country of the beneficiary
No mandatory specification of the secondment HI(s) in the proposal,
but essential to give as much information as possible: sector, timing,
duration, purpose
21Secondments
Only for GF
Initial secondment: possibility to spent up to 3 months in HI or any PO
in a MS/AC before outgoing phase.
Considered as part of outgoing phase: spent time in TC reduced
Maximum duration of the secondment depends
from the total duration of the fellowship
Duration of Maximum duration of
fellowship secondment
≤ 18 months 3 months
> 18 months 6 months
22Secondment vs. short visit
Secondments and short visits have different nature and objectives
Secondment Short visit
aim at providing transfer of aim at gathering data and
knowledge and training information
clear impact on the project and with
limited impact
a justified scope
an integral part of the research
can only represent a small part
proposal - linked to the final
of the action
results
planned in advance could be spontaneous
can be more than a PO located in
location can be chosen freely
MS/AC. Country of HI allowed
specific supervisor arrangements work supervised directly by
at the PO the beneficiary
