Horizon Europe | MSCA Staff Exchanges
MSCA Staff Exchanges promotes the exchange of personnel between organisations in different countries, scientific disciplines and/or economic sectors (e.g. between universities and companies) and thus supports the successful transfer of knowledge between different parties within and outside Europe.
Objective of Staff Exchanges
The Staff Exchanges 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 (in particular SMEs), based in Europe and beyond.
Exchanged staff benefit from new knowledge, skills and career development perspectives, while participating organisations increase their research and innovation capacities.
Who can apply for Staff Exchanges?
Staff Exchanges are open to international consortia of universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs and other non-academic organisations. They need to include

- above this minimum, the participation of organisations from any country is possible
- if all participating organisations are from the same sector (academic or non-academic), at least one must be from a non-associated Third Country
