Project description DEENESFRITPL Unleashing the full research and innovation potential of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Under Horizon Europe’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), the European Commission funds research and innovation (R&I) projects through doctoral and postdoctoral training, as well as researcher mobility schemes. MSCA has a strong international dimension that directly contributes to the Global Approach to R&I and the EU’s strategy for enhancing its leading R&I role worldwide. However, full strategic potential has not yet been reached. From reviewing policy orientations to providing recommendations for long-term strategic MSCA promotion, the EU-funded MSCAdvocacy project will offer direct support to 20 key partner countries and six regions. The aim is to better align their MSCA cooperation methods and procedures with the Global Approach. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The aim of the MSCAdvocacy project is to provide direct support to better align MSCA cooperation mechanisms of 20 key partner countries and 6 regions with the European Commission’s Global Approach to Research and Innovation. The project will become the strategic link between 1) the European Union’s external policy objectives, 2) bilateral and bi-regional S&T agreements with key partner countries and regions, 3) the corresponding R&I cooperation roadmaps and action plans, and 4) MSCA promotion in the field. With MSCA being the central international component of Horizon Europe (HE), its researcher mobility programmes directly contribute to the objective of the EC’s Global Approach such as strengthening commitment to international openness and fundamental values, rebalancing towards a level playing field and reciprocity, ensuring a free exchange of ideas and fostering research in key areas such as a green transition, the digital transition, global health, and innovation. However, in several key partner countries and regions MSCA do not seem to reach their full strategic potential in line with the objectives mentioned above. Hence, the project will do its part in supporting the strategic alignment of participation and cooperation mechanisms for MSCA to the priorities set on policy level. This will be achieved by 1) reviewing broader policy orientations and monitoring existing cooperation mechanisms with the target countries and regions relevant for MSCA; 2) conducting a Coordination and Support Mission to the targeted countries and regions in order to promote MSCA cooperation opportunities; 3) adressing analyses, reviews, and policy briefs to bilateral and bi-regional R&I policy dialogues; 4) and providing recommendations for long-term strategic promotion in MSCA consistent with EU R&I bilateral and bi-regional cooperation roadmaps and action plans.
