Agenda
• WHY do businesses should apply to the MSCA?
• WHAT opportunities do the MSCA offer?
• WHICH MSCA should you choose?
• PRACTICAL information and useful links
WHY do businesses should apply to the MSCA?
Policy context: The EU produces the largest number of PhDs but it needs more researchers in the business sector!!
MSCA projects approved 2015-2016
92 SMEs 120 Other non
academic sector
Benefits for Businesses
Benefits: equip researchers with skills that
match your needs Participate in the training of researchers you would like to hire:
•Contribute to a training module/workshop/summer schools:
scientific or transferable skills (e.g. Management, Entrepreneurship, IP, Ethics, Communication)
•Provide supervised on-the-job training via recruitments or secondments
•Provide a platform for transfer of knowledge and acquisition of new skills
WHAT opportunities do the MSCA offer?

Innovation Staff
Exchange
“Staff” = research students, postdocs, PIs, technical and managerial staff.
Promoting transfer of
knowledge between countries
and sectors
• Research programme executed by:
• Exchange of “staff” around the consortium (Duration 1 month to 1 year)
• Networking Activities
• Collaborate with any sector and any country worldwide
• No Mobility Rule
APRE 2013
www.apre.it
RISE Requirements
• Project duration 48 months
• Minimum consortium 3 participants in 3 countries
1. 2 academic participants plus 1 non-academic (or vice versa)
2. 2 European participants plus 1 non-European participant
• Secondments:
• “Staff” must be active at their host for 6 months before secondment
• Must be reintegrated after secondment (no duration or mechanism specified)
• All secondments within Europe must be international & intersectoral

APRE 2013
www.apre.it
A Typical ITN • Consortium of organisations from different countries and sectors
1. Beneficiaries: recruit researcher(s) for up to 36 months
2. Partner Organisations: host secondments/provide training
• Propose a joint research programme – 48 months long
• Recruit researchers across the consortium– each researcher has an Individual Research Project
• Researchers must not have lived in the country of their host for more than 12 months in the 3 years prior to recruitment (Mobility Rule)
• Advanced research skills and transferable skills training
• Networking events
• Secondments for each researcher to another sector (academic to non-academic, or vice-versa)
