Why participate in the event?
The Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) is the European Union’s flagship funding programme to stimulate innovation, transfer knowledge, and boost researchers’ careers.
The MSCA Staff Exchanges is the most international and intersectoral initiative within MSCA, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing among academic and industrial organizations across borders through research projects that involve the mobility of researchers and staff.
Background
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCAs) fund excellent research and innovation and equip researchers at all stages of their career with new knowledge and skills, through mobility across borders and exposure to different sectors and disciplines. The MSCA help build Europe’s capacity for research and innovation by investing in the long-term careers of excellent researchers.
The MSCA Staff Exchanges Actions fund short-term international, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral exchanges of staff members involved in Research and Innovation activities. The aim is to develop a sustainable collaboration among different organisations from the academic and private sectors based in Europe and beyond. As a successor of Horizon 2020’s Research and Innovation Staff Exchanges (RISE), Staff Exchanges offers unique opportunities for researchers and innovators to enlarge their networks, share knowledge and turn innovative research into innovative products and services.
The 2025 MSCA Staff Exchanges call for proposals opened on 27 March, with a deadline of 8 October 2025. You will find additional information in the Guide for applicants as well as via the below links.
