Summary
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) have the goal to help build Europe’s capacity for research and innovation by investing in the long-term careers of excellent researchers. Therefore, this programme provides funding to excellent research and innovation as well as equip researchers at all stages of their career (regardless of age and nationality) with new knowledge and skills, through mobility across borders and exposure to different sectors and disciplines. Additionally, the MSCA fund the development of excellent doctoral and postdoctoral training programmes and collaborative research projects worldwide. Furthermore, it supports cooperation between industry and academia and innovative training to enhance employability and career development.

Call
Detailed Call Description
To build on the results of the Researchers at Risk initiative “InSPIREurope” launched under the MSCA in 2019, further support is envisaged towards national and international organisations working with researchers at risk and aiming to enhance and professionalise their activities. The support action should take into consideration existing work and new challenges for researchers at risk, such as the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. It should further facilitate and strengthen cooperation and linkages between European, national and institutional initiatives and programmes, increasing awareness on why researchers are at risk, as well as identifying and delivering the best possible solutions.
It should not duplicate other actions foreseen under Horizon Europe or other EU-funded programmes such as Erasmus+, but rather build synergies between these programmes. The activities carried out under this support action should complement actions in Member States and third countries associated to Horizon Europe.
