6 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions

7 Who, what and where? Who? What? Where? All levels of research experience All areas of research - bottom-up approach Anywhere: any research performing organisation, public or private worldwide - there are actions for European and international mobility

8 MSCA objectives Attract and retain research talent in Europe Develop state-of-the-art, innovative training schemes, consistent with the requirements of R&I Promote sustainable career development in R&I Focus on delivering new knowledge and skills Back up strong partnership with MS via co-funding mechanism

9 MSCA key features Open to all domains of R&I from basic to market Entirely bottom-up Participation of non-academic sector strongly encouraged Mobility key requirement - funded researchers move Promotion of attractive working and employment conditions Particular attention to gender balance Public engagement of supported researchers

10 Deadline: 15. January 2019 Deadline: 12. September 2018 Deadline: 21. March 2018 Deadline: 27. September 2018

12 RISE: two possible dimensions, or a mix of those Projects promoting staff exchanges between: International (MS/AC and TC) Inter-sectoral (academic and nonacademic sectors)

13 Sectors The sector of an organisation is defined automatically Academic Sector Higher education establishments (public or private) Non-profit research organisations (public or private) International European interest organisations Non-Academic Sector Any socio-economic actor not included in the academic sector (and fulfilling the requirements of the Horizon 2020 Rules for Participation typical examples: companies, NGOs, museums, etc.)

14 RISE in short Exchange-of-staff-action to stimulate transfer of knowledge Academic and non-academic participants Flexible inter-sector and international (outside Europe) exchange of highly skilled research and innovation staff members Work with existing staff no recruitment foreseen Based on a common project on research and innovation Bottom up approach no predefined scientific priorities No funding of salaries

15 Project Main Aspects Project built on joint research and innovation activities Project implemented through the secondment of staff (no recruitments) A staff member seconded for a period of 1 to 12 months The maximum size for a project is 540 person months No minimum size explicitly defined for the project, but substantial impact is expected Maximum project duration is 4 years

16 General Aspects All Countries can participate in RISE, but not all are eligible for funding All institutions fulfilling the requirements of the Horizon 2020 Rules for Participation can participate in RISE

17 Participants in RISE Beneficiaries Sign the Grant Agreement and claim costs Are responsible for the execution of the programme Are established in a Member State/Associated Country Partner Organisations Do not sign the Grant Agreement and do not claim costs Must include a letter of commitment in the proposal Are established in a Third Country (i.e. neither MS nor AC)

18 Staff members Actively engaged in or linked to research/innovation activities for at least 1 month prior to first secondment (NEW!) Types of staff members: ESR (no PhD and < 4 years experience) ER (PhD or > 4 years experience) Managerial staff Administrative or Technical staff Return phase required

19 Minimum eligibility conditions At least 3 independent participants in 3 different countries. (At least 2 participants from 2 different MS/AC) If all in MS/AC: at least 1 academic and 1 non-academic In practice, 2 possible minimum settings: MS/AC 1 + MS/AC 2 + TC or MS/AC 1 + MS/AC 2 + MS/AC 3 Academic Non-Academic

20 Eligible and non-eligible secondments

21 Countries eligible for EU funding EU Member States (and Overseas Countries and Territories linked to the MS as defined on page 3 of General Annex A to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme ) Horizon 2020 Associated Countries The Third Countries listed (On page 3 and 4 of General Annex A to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme )

22 Countries not eligible for EU funding In practice, those countries are mainly: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Russia, United States. In extremely exceptional cases, partners from those countries might be funded. But the following conditions have to be fulfilled: a) This partner has competences/expertise that no organisation in MS/AC has b) The relevant transfer of knowledge can only be done via a secondment in the direction from a TC to a MS/AC c) Points a) and b) must be endorsed by the expert evaluators d) The experts' endorsement (point c) must be confirmed by the REA

23 EU Contribution Unit costs per researcher per month of secondment Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Staff member unit cost * person/month Institutional unit cost * person/month Research, training and networking costs Management and indirect costs Research and Innovation Staff Exchange *These unit costs are subject to a funding rate of 100% and no country coefficients apply.

24 EU contribution The Staff member unit cost is intended to support the travel, accommodation and subsistence costs linked to the respective secondments. Participants are expected to continue paying the salary of the seconded staff during the period of exchange. Ensure that the EU contribution is fully used for the benefit of the seconded staff members.

25 EU contribution It can be: paid directly to the seconded staff member or managed centrally by the beneficiary according to the specific needs of the secondment. Detailed arrangements for the use of the contribution may also be agreed internally between beneficiaries and partner organisations, to address the specific financial needs of each secondment.

26 EU contribution The Research, training and networking costs cover the costs of research and innovation related activities of the project such as purchasing of consumables, laboratory costs, participation to conferences, workshops, coordination and review meetings, and networking activities.

27 EU contribution Management and indirect costs cover all general costs connected with the organisation and implementation of the secondments (administrative and financial management, logistics, ethics, human resources, legal advice, documentation, etc.).

28 EU contribution The distribution of Research, Training and Networking Costs and the Management and Indirect Costs should be agreed upon at an early stage. This should be reflected in the Consortium and the Partnership Agreements.

29 EU contribution MS/AC beneficiaries must also include in the budget the secondments which shall be claimed for eligible third country partners.

Secondments (per person): can be split in several stays. the total of all splits cannot be less than 1 month or more that 12 months, over the full duration of the project.

30 Secondments (per person): can be split in several stays. the total of all splits cannot be less than 1 month or more that 12 months, over the full duration of the project. The travelling days are included in the secondment duration. No minimum size explicitly defined for a project, but: Impact is one of the three award criteria, projects are expected to have a substantial impact. no restrictions as regards to the direction or balance of the secondments within the project. The essence is that the secondments are relevant for the execution of the proposed project. No limitations to the budget per country either.

TraSaCu 645690 Traffic Safety Culture aims at developing a cultural approach in road traffic safety research and accident prevention.

40 TraSaCu Traffic Safety Culture aims at developing a cultural approach in road traffic safety research and accident prevention. It will conduct a number of case studies of different traffic safety cultures across Europe. It focuses on the safety cultures that emerge under different institutional, demographic and topographical conditions and their influence on the numbers and forms of accidents. It also looks at those cultural elements that can be changed easily in order to improve road safety of the investigated traffic systems.
