Euresearch's Contribution to the International
Focus

Euresearch's Contribution to the International "MSCA-NET" Project

Euresearch is coordinating the MSCA-NET project. This project for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions National Contact Points (MSCA NCPs) has 26 beneficiaries around the world and a duration of 3 years. It is a unique possibility for Euresearch to network, and to generate and exchange knowledge.

The NCP network is the main structure that provides guidance, practical information and support on all aspects of participation in Horizon Europe. There are NCPs in all EU countries as well as in many non-EU countries. The scope of the MSCA-NET project is to facilitate transnational cooperation between the MSCA NCPs, to achieve a consistent and harmonised level of support but also to lower the barriers for MSCA applicants.

This is the second time Euresearch has had the opportunity to coordinate an NCP project, allowing us to consolidate our experience in managing a large consortium composed of beneficiaries from all over the world. Besides the different activities being carried out, such as training sessions, mentoring programmes or twinnings, support documents for MSCA applications, such as handbooks and evolution guides, are also part of the project outcomes. To provide good support and assist MSCA applicants from many different countries in many different and complex funding programmes, knowledge sharing, training and supporting documents are crucial. This networking project provides an excellent way to accomplish this.

Reporting, financial administration and consortium management are also part of a coordinator’s daily business, like in any other EU project. All in all, this coordination is a nice way for Euresearch to deal more closely with hands-on project issues so as to be able to advise our clients even better.

Would you like to benefit from the project’s outcomes? Visit the MSCA-NET website or contact us!
