14 FP7-PEOPLE VS MSCA-H2020 MCA will continue as the MSCA (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) Funding levels ~maintained Broad schemes ~maintained Main features (bottom-up, mobility, career development, gender balance, employment conditions) maintained Simplification in implementation Broader definition of industry involvement: participation of businesses (including SMEs) and other socio-economic actors Synergies with other parts of H2020 and with Erasmus+ Strong emphasis on outreach activities and communicating research 14

15 FP7-PEOPLE VS MSCA-H2020 ITN IEF IOF IIF CIG IAPP IRSES Action 1 ITN Early-stage Researchers Action 2 IF Experienced Researchers Action 3 RISE Exchange of Staff Innovative Training Networks Support for doctoral and early-stage training European Training Networks, European Industrial Doctorates, European Joint Doctorates Individual Fellowships Support for experienced researchers undertaking international and inter-sector mobility: European Fellowships and Global Fellowships Dedicated support for career restart and reintegration Research and Innovation Staff Exchange International and inter-sector cooperation through the exchange of staff COFUND Also: Researchers Night Action 4 COFUND Co-fundingof regional, national and international programmes - Doctoral programmes - Fellowship programmes 15

16 MSCA Key Concepts: R&D Experience Full Time Equivalent Research is measured from the date when a researcher obtained the degree which would formally entitle him or her to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the researcher is recruited or seconded, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is or was ever envisaged. 16

17 MSCA Key Concepts: Mobility Rule Mobility Rule: At the time of the relevant deadline for submission of proposals, or recruitment/secondment by the host organisation, depending on the action, researchers shall not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account In the Career Restart Panel and the Reintegration Panel in IF, researchers shall not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of their host organisation for more than 3 years in the 5 years immediately prior to the deadline. 17

18 MSCA Key Concepts: 2 SECTORs i.e: SMEs, Hospitals, big enterprises, NGOs, International Organisations, Museums, Governments 18

19 MSCA Key Concepts: 2 participants The Beneficiary Partner organizations is the host organization (EU member States or Associated) who recruits, supervises and provides training for the researcher (ER/ESR/Staff), taking complete responsibility for executing the proposed action. do not sign the Grant Agreement and do not employ the researchers within the action. Partner organisations provide additional training and host researchers during secondments 3 countries categories: MS Member States AC Associated Countries TC Third Countries 19
