The new call by the Brazilian National Council of State Funding Agencies (CONFAP) will top up selected MSCA Staff Exchanges projects, enabling Brazilian entities to carry out joint research projects with European and international partners and to second their staff in Europe.
The co-funding will allow these organisations to second their staff to European research organisations for training, skills and career development and knowledge sharing.
The scheme will promote mobility of researchers in both directions and create a balanced flow of exchanges. This will strengthen research ties between Europe and Brazil and drive forward scientific and technological progress by enhancing long-term bilateral institutional cooperation and collaborative research.
To be eligible for the co-funding, projects should comply with Staff Exchanges’ criteria. In addition, the representatives of Brazilian organisations in these proposals must also submit a summarised proposal to their respective FAP.
Applicants from Brazil should refer to FAP in their area and participating in the call to check their eligibility. Each foundation will provide guidance on the conditions and rules to be followed by Brazilian organisations applying.
The full details and guidelines for applicants are available on CONFAP’s website (in Brazilian Portuguese).
The deadline for the 2025 MSCA Staff Exchanges call is 8 October 2025. All relevant information can be found on the EU Funding & Tender portal.
Further information on this opportunity for support can be found on the MSCA website.
