European Commision Call for Applications: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Staff Exchanges 2024

The European Commission (EC) has openen again the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Staff Exchanges (SE) 2024 fellowship which involve organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (including SMEs) from across the globe. The SE action funds short-term international and inter-sectoral exchanges of staff members involved in research and innovation activities of participating organisations.

The aim is to develop sustainable collaborative projects between different organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (in particular SMEs), based in Europe and beyond. Exchanged staff benefit from new knowledge, skills and career development perspectives, while participating organisations increase their research and innovation capacities.

MSCA Staff Exchanges can address three dimensions of mobility, which are

  • inter-sectoral
  • international
  • interdisciplinary

Requirements: 

  • Exchanges between organisations within EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries should mainly be inter-sectoral. However, same-sector exchanges are also possible under the condition that they are interdisciplinary. Interdisciplinarity is not required for same-sector exchanges with non-associated Third Countries.
  • Secondments between institutions established in non-associated Third Countries or within the same EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country are not eligible.
  • The collaborative approach of MSCA Staff Exchanges should exploit complementary competences of the participating organisations and create synergies between them.
  • The secondments should be essential to achieve the joint project’s R&I activities.
  • The project should inter alia enable networking activities and the organisation of workshops and conferences, to facilitate sharing of knowledge and testing of innovative approaches for specific R&I topics.

Funding details:

  • Indicative budget: EUR 99.47 million
