âMSCA-NET, a network of National Contact Points (NCPs) for the Marie SkÅodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), has prepared an unofficial handbook for applicants to the 2022 MSCA Staff Exchanges call. This call will close on 8 March 2023 (4 pm UK Time).
While this handbook is primarily aimed to support NCPs in assisting applicants for the 2022 MSCA DN call, it can also be used by research managers, supervisors and applicants to prepare their applications. 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 improve potential applicants’ access to MSCA calls in Horizon Europe.
