  1. MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS Eng. Yasmine M. Hassan Sabry FP7 National Contact Point – Mobility NCP

  2. Aim of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) • Attract and retain research talent • Develop state-of-the-art, innovative training schemes • Promote sustainable career development in research and innovation

  3. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) in Horizon 2020 MSCA

  4. Budget • Budget 2014-2020: ~ 6 billion € Work Program 2014-2015: 9 calls foreseen -> one call per each MSC Action per year + one call covering 2 years of European Researchers' Night

  5. Key features • Entirely bottom-up • Open to all domains of research and innovation • (physical) Mobility as the key requirement • Participation of non-academic sector strongly encouraged • Particular attention to gender balance • Public engagement of supported researchers

  6. Individual Fellowships (IF)

  7. Individual Fellowships (IF) • Individual, trans-national fellowships awarded to the best or most promising researchers • 2 Types: • European Fellowships: open to researchers either coming to Europe or moving within Europe. • Global Fellowships: based on a secondment to a third country Career Restart Panel and Reintegration Panel -Secondments, notably in the non-academic sector, embedded in the career development

  8. Individual Fellowships (IF) European Fellowships: • 12-24 months • Nationality not relevant • In EU 28MS/AC • Mobility rule applies

  9. Fellowships (IF) Global Fellowships: • 12-24 months (+mandatory return phase of 12 months) • Nationality not relevant • Secondmentto a third country • Mobility rule applies to country where the secondment takes place

  10. MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS Innovative Training Networks (ITN)

  11. Objectives • Training innovative early-stage researchers. • Mobility across sectors, countries and disciplines. • Skills to match public and private sector needs. • Attractive working and employment conditions. • Excellence in doctoral/early-stage research training. • Collaboration between the academia and non-academic sectors.

  12. Who can apply? • Networks of organisations involved in research and (research) training. What types of organisations can apply? • Two different types: • Academic sector: public or private higher education establishments awarding academic degrees, public or private non-profit research organisations whose primary mission is to pursue research, international European interest organisations (e.g. CERN, EMBL) and the EU's Joint Research Centre. • Non-academic sector: includes any entity not included in the academic sector, e.g. large companies, SMEs, NGOs, museums, hospitals, international organisations (e.g. UN).

  13. Participants from which countries can apply? • EU Member States (MS) • Associated Countries (AC) • Other Third Countries (OTC) Minimum Country Participation in an ITN

  14. Participants • Academic and non-academic organisations can take part as either a beneficiary or a partner organisation: • NB. Each partner organisation must include a letter of commitment in Part B of the proposal. The precise role of each partner organisation should also be clearly described in the proposal.

  15. Early Stage Researchers • Innovative Training Networks are exclusively for early-stage researchers in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their career and not awarded a PhD at the time of their (first) recruitment. • Full-time equivalent research experience 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 • Researchers recruited for min. 3 months and max. 36 months. • No restrictions based on nationality.

  16. Mobility rule • The researcher must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of his/her host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to his/her (first) recruitment. • Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account. • Exception: for international organisations, the mobility rule does not apply to the hosting of eligible researchers. However, the appointed researcher shall not have spent more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to recruitment at the same organisation.

  17. 3 implementation modes

  18. Common features • International network of partners which recruit and host ESRs based on joint research training/doctoral programme. • Research fields chosen by applicants in multi/interdisciplinary and emerging fields of S&T. • Training through individual research projects within the framework of the overall research topic. • Meaningful exposure to the non-academic sector. • Supervisory Board. • Typical project duration 48 months.

  19. Typical activities • Network-wide training activities (e.g. seminars, workshops and summer schools). • Training in key transferable skills. • Collaboration and exchange of knowledge within the network. • Communication & Dissemination. • Public engagement

  20. 3 implementation modes • European Training Networks (ETN), European Industrial Doctorates (EID) or European Joint Doctorates (EJD) • Triple 'i' (international, interdisciplinary and inter-sector) dimension of mobility and particular focus on innovation skills • Support to Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) for 3-36 months • Minimum eligibility condition: network of 3 participants (exception: EID with 2 participants only)

  21. European Training Networks (ETN) At least 3 partners in 3 different EU-MS/AC • Research and training • Private sector partners most welcome • Maximum 540 Person months (PM) in a 3 partner consortium: = 180 PM/Partner = 15 Researcher Years/Partner = 5 researchers who stay for 3 years for each partner

  22. European Industrial Doctorates (EID) • At least 2 partners in 2 different MS/AC • One partner has to be from the private sector • Recruited researcher must spend at least 50% of overall time in the private sector • Maximum 180 Person months (PM) of recruitment = 15 Researcher Years = 5 researchers who stay for 3 years

  23. European Joint Doctorates (EJD) • At least 3 partners in 3 different MS/AC • At least 3 partners must be entitled to award doctoral degrees • A joint degree for the early stage researcher is the goal • Maximum 540 Person months (PM) of recruitment (in a 3 partner consortium: = 180 PM/Partner = 15 Researcher Years/Partner = 5 researchers who stay for 3 years for each partner)
