MSCA are a set of funding programs under Horizon Europe designed to support researchers and organisations worldwide in advancing cutting-edge research and innovation. With a strong focus on fostering international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral collaboration, the MSCA aim to enhance the skills and careers of researchers at all stages while addressing global societal challenges.
The program funds a wide range of activities, including doctoral training, postdoctoral research, staff exchanges, and co-funding for regional and national research programs. It also supports outreach initiatives to engage the public with science. By promoting mobility across borders and sectors, MSCA enables researchers to gain valuable international experience and access to diverse research environments.
