MSCA Staff Exchanges - Call for applications

The MSCA Staff Exchanges Program supports mobility of researchers through secondments to academic and industry partners in Europe and internationally.  The aim of the program is to promote knowledge exchange and skills development, leading to sustainable collaborative projects between organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (including SMEs) in Europe and beyond. Staff exchanges are open to international consortia of universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs and other non-academic organizations. Currently, Canadian research teams can participate under the rules for Third Party Countries - MSCA funds could be used to support visiting researchers to Lakehead (faculty and research staff, including PhD students).  "Staff" can include PhD students and post-doctoral researchers, as well as administrative, technical or managerial staff. Secondments can last from one month to one year.  Graduate students of Canadian participants in an MSCA project can participate in outbound mobility through a Tier 1 Mitacs GRA award (no co-pay requirement). Projects can last up to four years, and require partners in at least three countries, two of which must be in an EU Member State or Associated Country.  For more information, please contact Jill Sherman, intl.research@lakeheadu.ca.
