Concept: The event is a cooperation between the POLICY ANSWERS project and MSCAdvocacy.
A representative of the Research Executive Agency will provide an outline of the MSCA Staff Exchange Scheme, followed by an introduction of various services to prepare a proposal, such as the National Contact Points. We will also hear a success story and recommendations from an experienced project coordinator highlighting good practices from the region. The event closes with a Q&A.
Target group: Representatives of interested organizations and stakeholders from the Western Balkans, e.g., Higher Education and Research Performing Organisations, but we particularly encourage non-academic stakeholders to participate in the Staff Exchange scheme and this information event.
Background: Staff Exchange (SE) is an excellent opportunity for Western Balkans organizations and individuals because the mobility supported through this scheme has a strong capacity-building element, which is appreciated and needed. Although the SE scheme is already used by some stakeholders, there is a lot of potential for this particular scheme in the Western Balkans, as it allows for short-term mobility and includes different staff categories. The call opens on 5 October 2023 and closes on 28 February 2024.
