MSCA Staff Exchanges 2022 call (call deadline 8 March 2023) – update proposal template

For the MSCA Staff Exchanges 2022 call (call deadline 8 March 2023 17:00 Brussels time) an adjustment has been made to the call document HEU MSCA SE application form template, more specifically under part B1:

We would like to draw your attention to an important update of the submission template part B1. In accordance with the Horizon Europe Framework Programme rules, Associated Partners can be Work Package's leaders. Therefore, the footnote “7 -  A "lead beneficiary" must be a beneficiary (= organisation established in a Member State/Associated Countries) and cannot be an associated partner” preventing the appointment of Associated Partners as Work Packages’ leaders in the proposal, has been removed. A new template Part B1 has been republished for your kind consideration and use. (Funding and Tender portal)

To sum up, associated partners can be work package leaders but cannot be coordinators. Only beneficiaries can coordinate a MSCA Staff Exchanges project.
