Programmes
MSCA

The amended version of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions 2021-2022 Work Programme has been published on 10 May. The updated version entails modifications to administrative requirements of the different MSCA funding schemes and an introduction of a new fellowship scheme.

  • Staff Exchanges:
    • Introduction of obligation of full-time secondments. Secondments between non-associated third countries are not eligible.
    • Clarification on the definition of interdisciplinarity.
  • Postdoctoral Fellowships:
    • Clarification on secondments in European Postdoctoral Fellowships (on duration) and Global Postdoctoral Fellowships (on location at start of the action).
    • Clarification on the evaluation of placements in the non-academic sector.
  • Doctoral Networks:
    • Steering board is now called supervisory board and reference is made to the MSCA Guidelines for supervision.
    • This rule no longer applies for Industrial Doctorates and Joint Doctorates: “Secondments are eligible for up to one third of the actual months spent implementing the research training activities under the action.”
  • Cofund: introduction of the obligation to add a Letter of Commitment from the implementing partner included in the proposal.
  • Clarification on the request and granting procedure for the Special Needs Allowance (up to 60.000/researcher or staff member) for MSCA grants funded under Horizon 2020.
  • Introduction of a new fellowship scheme “MSCA4Ukraine” (€25 million from 2022 budget) for displaced doctoral and postdoctoral researchers from Ukraine for temporary continuation of their careers in EU member states and Horizon Europe associated countries. This is a grant to an identified beneficiary thus not an open call for proposals.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
