MSCA Staff Exchanges (SE) 2026 – Webinar on funding of short-term exchange of research- and innovation-staff

The MSCA Staff Exchange action funds short-term international and inter-sectoral exchanges of staff members involved in research and innovation activities of participating organisations. The aim is to develop sustainable collaborative projects between different organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors, based in Europe and beyond.

MSCA SE is completely bottom-up and open to all disciplines. It is mainly focused on the mobility and the transfer of knowledge. The diversity in projects is great. This scheme simply allows for fruitful collaborations with colleagues in other sectors all over the world.

In 2026, there are some new elements that make SE more attractive, including greater opportunities for exchanges within the same sector (e.g., academia to academia) and an increase in the unit cost rates.

The webinar will be held in English.

Programme:

• Introduction by Per Magnus Kommandantvold and Berit Sundby Avset, National Contact Points (NCP) for MSCA
• MSCA Staff Exchanges Call 2026, NN, Project Adviser, REA
