Project description
Preparing the MSCA's new framework and policy goals
2020 is an intense period for the European research landscape. Horizon Europe is about to be launched, and with it a new time for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA). The future offers many opportunities, but also brings challenges. For this reason, the EU-funded MSCA DE 2020 - Achieving more together - focuses on two particular aspects of the MSCA: 1) synergies of the MSCA with the European Universities Alliances as a link between the Horizon Europe and Erasmus+ programmes; 2) Supervision in the MSCA, because the demands on supervisors have developed enormously over the last decade. The aim is to discuss what supervision in the future MSCA should look like and what it can and cannot do.
Objective
"The second half of 2020 is a crucial time for Research and Innovation in Europe. The new framework programme ""Horizon Europe"" will start in 2021 (though the start depends on an agreement of the multi annual financial framework, nevertheless, this agreement should be reached during the German presidency), and with it a new seven year span of the MSCA. Moreover, new initiatives in the European research and education landscape have just started with the ""European Universities Initiative"" probably as their most prominent one.
The MSCA German Council Presidency Conference “MSCA 2020 – Achieving more together” will address different MSCA topics embedded into greater political contexts. The focus will be on:
1. MSCA and European Universities: As for the ERA, council conclusions on the European Universities Initiative are planned for November 2020 during the German Presidency. The German MSCA conference seems to be the right place to draw the first conclusions of this initiative and to determine wishful synergies.
2. Supervision in MSCA: We would like to put the focus on the highly important, but so far neglected group of supervisors in MSCA, and shed light on their challenges. Written guidelines for good supervision shall be a result of the conference, which will be done in a working group to be initiated in 2020."
