The Research Executive Agency (REA) has confirmed that Associated Partners do not need to provide information about their researchers in Part A of the application form for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks 2023 call. This is in line with the guidance from the previous MSCA DN call.
Applicants are also reminded that in Part A of the proposal, Associated Partners do not need to complete the section on the role of the organisation in the project, as stated in the Guide for Applicants.
It is important that the contributions of the Associated Partners are clearly described in the relevant sections of Parts B1 and B2 of the proposal.
UK-based legal entities are also reminded that they can continue to participate in the MSCA DN 2023 in line with the EC transitional measures. The funding for UK-based beneficiaries will be provided by the Horizon Europe Guarantee.
Further information on UK participation in Horizon Europe can be found in the dedicated UKRO factsheet and the UK Government’s explainer.
