Scope
Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: For staff members Increased set of research and transferable skills and competences, leading to improved employability and career prospects within and outside academia; More knowledge and innovative ideas converted into products, processes and services; More entrepreneurial mind-sets, testing new and innovative ideas; Increased international exposure leading to extended networks and opportunities; Enhanced networking and communication capacities with scientific peers, as well as with the general public that will increase and broaden the research and innovation impact. For participating organisations Innovative ways of cooperation and transfer of knowledge between sectors and disciplines; Strengthened and broader international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaborative networks; Boosted R&I capacity. Scope: MSCA Staff Exchanges involve organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (including SMEs) from across the globe. International cooperation through the participation of organisations from non-associated third countries is strongly encouraged. Support is provided for international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility of R&I staff leading to knowledge transfer between participating organisations. Mobility through secondments The organisations constituting the partnership contribute directly to the implementation of a joint R&I project by seconding and/or hosting eligible staff members. Such a project must explore activities that can be based on previous work but should go beyond and generate or strengthen long-term collaborations. Secondments must involve physical mobility [1] of the eligible staff members and must always take place between legal entities independent from each other. MSCA Staff Exchanges can address different dimensions of mobility: international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary [2] . Exchanges between organisations within EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries should mainly be inter-sectoral, but same-sector exchanges are also possible. Interdisciplinarity is particularly encouraged for secondments between academic organisations. The collaborative approach of MSCA Staff Exchanges should exploit complementary competences of the participating organisations and create synergies between them. The secondments should be essential to achieve the joint project’s R&I activities. The project should inter alia enable networking activities and the organisation of workshops and conferences, to facilitate shari…
What consortia for this call have looked like
412 projects
have been funded under this line
(HORIZON-MSCA-SE-01-01) in Horizon Europe and H2020. This is what they
were made of — not a recommendation, just what the Commission signed.
At this volume it is a recurring
scheme rather than a one-off topic, so the shape below is the scheme's norm — worth
knowing, since a single-beneficiary scheme needs no consortium at all.

The mix of organisations
This is the shape, not the consortium. It says how many partners these projects had and what kinds of organisation were in them. It does not know whether your idea needs the same mix, who is available, who is already committed elsewhere, or how the work and the budget should be divided. Those are judgement calls on a specific proposal, and no amount of public data answers them.
Building the actual consortium — finding the partners, agreeing the roles, and writing it so it survives an evaluation — is what Scientific Network Management does. Free either way; the radar does not change if you never ask.
Get told when something changes
Most institutions find out about a call with three weeks left. We write when something opens, moves or closes that fits what you work on, with the deadline, the fit and the funder's own exclusion clauses quoted. Nothing in a quiet week. Free, and one click to leave.
Starting from the programme you are reading: Horizon Europe (HORIZON) — change it below if you like.
Leave the second box empty and you get whatever opened or changed recently, closing soonest. Fill it in and it ranks against your words instead: that is the difference between a list and a shortlist.
Scientific Network Management will send you the current list for these terms, and after that only what changes: a call that opens, a deadline that shifts, a clause that rules you out. Nothing is sent when nothing has moved. One click to stop, in every message.
One confirmation email and nothing else until you click it. No tracking pixels, no sharing, one click to unsubscribe.
Of every 100 Horizon Europe proposals
A funding strategy reads your institution's own published record against the calls that are open, and says in writing which are worth the year and which to decline, with the reason for each.
Scientific Network Management, the grant-writing practice behind this radar: 13 years of EU-funded research projects, and a founder who has served as Key Expert and Team Leader on two EU-funded technical assistance contracts establishing biotechnology centres in Türkiye.
SNM also does
No obligation, and nothing here is conditional on using us: searching the calls stays free and asks for nothing either way.
