The Research Executive Agency (REA) is organising a Questions & Answer session on the MSCA Staff exchanges call 2026.

MSCA Staff Exchanges promote innovative international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration in research and innovation by enabling staff exchanges and the sharing of knowledge across all stages of the innovation chain. The objective is to support joint research and innovation projects through staff exchanges within partnerships involving universities, research infrastructures, businesses, and other socio-economic actors in Europe and beyond. These collaborations aim to build interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral (academic and non-academic) and international (EU Member States/Associated Countries and non-associated third countries) partnerships, while enabling participating staff (researchers at any career stage, as well as administrative, managerial, and technical personnel supporting the project’s R&I activities) to acquire new skills and competences.

A pre-recorded info session explains the key features of Staff Exchanges and the application process. The topics that are presented are:

  • Introduction and policy context 
  • 2026 Call and novelties 
  • Evaluation process 
  • Proposal submission 
  • Tips for a good proposal 
  • Open Science 
  • Ethics 
  • Conclusion and Q&A 

If after watching the info session the applicants still have questions they can be submitted via Slido and connect to the live Questions & Answers (Q&A) session. Link to pre-recorded info session (YouTube) and link to connect to Q&A session.

All the information related to the Q&A session on the MSCA Staff Exchanges call 2026 can be found in the announcement on the MSCA website.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

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.
