FCT organizes session on MSCA Staff Exchanges, ERA Talents, and Twinning

The FCT will hold an information session dedicated to various Horizon Europe instruments for funding the creation of collaborative networks and mobility actions. The focus is on three Calls: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Staff Exchanges ( open until February 28, 2024), ERA Talents (deadline for submitting proposals is September 26, 2024), and Twinning (next Call announced).

MSCA Staff Exchanges fund short stays (between 1 and 12 months) at institutions in other countries, promoting interdisciplinary mobility and mobility between academic and non-academic sectors. ERA Talents also promotes intersectoral mobility, but focuses on Widening countries (such as Portugal). Twinning aims to empower an institution in a Widening country in a specific scientific area through collaboration with at least two leading European research institutions.

These three funding instruments have similar objectives, aiming to strengthen institutions through the circulation of researchers and people with roles directly linked to research and the creation of international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral networks. However, each has its own objectives and specific requirements for the composition of consortia. This session aims to provide an overview of these funding opportunities relevant to the national scientific community.

The session will take place exclusively online on October 25 starting at 10 a.m., lasting one hour, with prior registration required.
