The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Staff Exchanges (SE) funds short-term international and inter-sectoral exchanges of staff members involved in research and innovation activities of participating organisations.
The aim is to develop sustainable collaborative projects between different organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (in particular SMEs), based in Europe and beyond. Exchanged staff (researchers – from doctoral candidates to postdoctoral researchers - as well as administrative, managerial and technical staff supporting research and innovation activities under the MSCA SE action) benefit from new knowledge, skills and career development perspectives, while participating organisations increase their research and innovation capacities.
The MSCA SE 2025 call is currently open for proposal submission and will close on 8 October 2025 and is expected to fund approximately 85 projects that will promote international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration in research and innovation through exchanging staff and leading to knowledge transfer between participating organisations. It is expected that the first funded projects will start as of September 2026.
The European Research Executive Agency (REA) in collaboration with the University of Alicante, and the Spanish AEI organises an information day for potential applicants, which is followed by a brokerage event where potential applicants can establish future collaborations and consortia for MSCA Staff Exchanges proposals.
The full programme, a short survey to be completed before the event (required for onsite participation), live webstream and more information on MSCA Staff Exchanges is available via the research and innovation community platform of the European Commission.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
