MSCA-NET, a network of National Contact Points (NCPs) for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), has prepared an unofficial handbook for applicants to the 2022 MSCA COFUND call. The call will close on 9 February 2023 (4.00 pm UK time).
While this handbook is primarily aimed at supporting NCPs in assisting applicants, it can also be used by research managers and supervisors. As previously reported by UKRO, the MSCA-NET project, as a successor to the Net4Mobility project, aims to improve, professionalise and harmonise services of MSCA NCPs and to simplify the access of potential applicants to the Horizon Europe MSCA calls.
