  1. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions under Horizon 2020 Deirdre Lennan DG EAC

  2. Marie Curie Actions Basics Pierre and Marie Curie honeymoon, 1895 Significant EU fellowships programmes since 1990 (FP3) for researchers’ mobility Marie Curielabelsince 1996(~60.000 fellows to date) Actions aimed atstructuring training, mobility and career development for researchers Under FP7, implemented through the People Programme (2007-2013) Education and Culture

  3. MCA Achievements • 60.000 researchers financed since the creation of the Marie Curie Actions • More than 10.000 PhD supported in FP7 • Marie Curie researchers coming from all over the world (around 130 nationalities) • Marie Curie host organisations in more than 70 countries • 46%of researchers coming to EU from industrialised countries stay in Europe after the end of the IIF fellowship • 38% women participation in FP7 MCA, close to the 40% target • Budget distribution by scientific panel in FP7 (bottom up approach) Education and Culture

  4. MCA Achievements • More than 50% of the budget dedicated to research on societal challenges • Bridging the academia-business gap: ~6.000 secondments / recruitments in ~350 FP7 MCA projects • SMEs play a major role: in IAPP and ITN they account for more than 50% of all businesses participating • Budget dedicated to societal challenges under FP7 MCA (2007-2011) Education and Culture

  5. MSCA Objectives • Main objective • Ensure the optimum development and dynamic use of Europe’s intellectual capital in order to generate new skills and innovation • Rationale • Encourage new, creative and innovative types of training • Identify excellent talents in research and innovation in international competition • Make best researchers in Europe and the world work together across countries, sectors and disciplines • Create a whole new mindset in Europe, crucial for creativity and innovation • Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions = excellent researchers’ training and mobility for career development Education and Culture

  6. MSCA in H2020 Proposed Budget (2014-2020):€ 5.75 billion ~7% of H2020 budget Education and Culture

  7. MSC Actions Action 1 Early-stage Researchers ITN (including EID and IDP) IEF IOF IIF CIG IAPP IRSES COFUND Doctoral and initial training of researchers proposed by international networks of organisations from public and private sectors • Action 2 Experienced Researchers Individual fellowships for most promising experienced researchers to develop their skills through international or inter-sector mobility International and inter-sector cooperation through the exchange of research and innovation staff • Action 3 Exchange of Staff Co-funding of regional, national and international programmes covering actions 1, 2 and 3 Action 4 COFUND Education and Culture

  8. MSCA – Doctorate level • Based on FP7 ITNs best practice • Structured doctoral training, includingindustrial and joint doctorates • Combining scientific excellence with business innovation • Aiming to develop research competences • Equip PhD holders with skills matching public and private sector needs • Joint research training programmes with transferable skills modules and exposure to other sectors and disciplines Education and Culture

  9. MSCA – Exchanges • New type of exchange of staff action to stimulate transfer of knowledge • Flexible exchanges of highly skilled research and innovation staff • Aiming to enhance cross-border and cross-sector collaboration • Single eligibility rule for international and inter-sectoral consortia • Exchanges within Europe (cross-sector) and with third countries Education and Culture

  10. MSCA - Expected Impact 2014-2020 • ~ 65.000 researchers to be supported, including 25.000 PhD candidates • ~ 200.000 scientific publications in high impact peer-reviewed journals • ~ 1.500 patent applications • ~ 100 spin-offs created • ~ 350-400 new regional / national / international programmes to be created targeting international and intersectoral training, and career development of research and innovation staff Education and Culture
