  1. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Horizon 2020

  2. MSCA • Excellence • Research • Training • Skills • Mobility

  3. MCA 2007-13

  4. Bottom-up nature Topics

  5. M(S)CA • Mobility • Global reach • Requirement in all projects • 130 nationalities, 80 countries

  6. MCA Interim Evaluation: Effectiveness and utility

  7. MCA Interim Evaluation: Innovation • 86% of the beneficiaries agreed that participation in Marie Curie projects has strengthened/will strengthen existing collaborations with partner organisations • Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (including 50 industrial doctorate programmes) leading to around 4 000 new applications for patents or trademarks

  8. MSCA Objective • Excellent Science part • MSCA objective • Ensure the optimum development and dynamic use of Europe’s intellectual capital in order to generate new skills and innovation Fostering new skills through excellent initial training of researchers Nurturing excellence through cross-border and cross-sector mobility Stimulating innovation through cross-fertilisation of knowledge Increasing structural impact by co-funding the activities Specific support and policy action Total budget (2014-2020): € 6.2 billion (current prices)

  9. MSCA–Key Features 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+

  10. MSCA in Horizon 2020

  11. Funds and calls • EU contribution based on unit costs calculated on the basis of the researcher-months • Allowances for the researcher (living, mobility and family allowance) • Unit costs for research, training and networking • Unit costs for managementandoverheads • Calls: • Yearly calls (first call planned to be open in December 2013 - launch of the Horizon 2020) • Application through the Participant portal • National Contact Points to help with application

  12. Innovative Training Networks (ITN) MSCA - main EU programme for structured doctoral training • Dedicated to early-stage researchers (no experienced researcher recruitment) • Involving wide partnership of institutions from academic and non-academic sectors • Based on (currently) 618 FP7 ITN + 43 Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorates: • ETN (European Training Networks) • EID (European Industrial Doctorates) • EJD (European Joint Doctorates) • Combining scientific excellence with innovation-oriented approach • Developing entrepreneurship and skills matching research labour market needs • Enhancing employability of researchers

  13. Individual Fellowships (IF) • Opportunities for international and inter-sectormobility of experienced researchers to facilitate career moves • Enhance competences and creative potential of best researchers, European and non-European willing to work in the EU • Encompass all types of mobility: intra-European, incoming, outgoing, return and re-integration • Career Restart Panel to resume a research career after a break • Secondments embedded in the career development – to take place within Europe • Special focus on inter-sector collaboration

  14. Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) • New type of exchange of staff action to stimulate transfer of knowledge and sharing of ideas • Flexible inter-sector and international exchanges of highly skilled research and innovation staff • Based on a common research and innovation project • Exchanges between institutions within Europe cover only inter-sectoral exchanges • Exchanges with institutions from outside Europe can be both inter-sector and within the same sector • No support for exchanges between institutions located outside Europe

  15. COFUND • Stimulating regional, national and international programmes to foster excellence • Spreading best practices of MSCA in terms of international mobility, research training, career development • Doctoral programmes and Fellowship programmes • Sole beneficiary responsible for matching funds • Use of unit costs • Contribution possible from EU regional funds

  16. Expected impact 2014-2020 • ~ 65 000 researchers to be supported, including 25 000 PhD candidates • ~ 200 000 scientific publications in high impact peer-reviewed journals • ~ 1 500 patent applications • ~ 100 spin-offs created • ~ 350-400 new regional / national / international programmes to be created targeting international and intersectoral training, and career development of research and innovation staff
