Aim “The objective of MSCA Choose Europe for Science is to
increase the attractiveness of European research careers by addressing the issue of precarity
offer excellent working conditions, turning the current challenge of brain drain in the research and innovation sector into brain gain
The pilot action supports projects in which academic and non-academic organisations recruit postdoctoral researchers, with a view to offering longer-term employment beyond the project period. The main novelty of the initiative is that organisations will be selected also based on their offers of longer-term professional perspectives. This is in addition to the goal of spreading MSCA’s best practices by promoting high standards and excellent working conditions.”
Target group a single legal entity in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe Associated Country
Duration Projects should recruit at least 3 researchers for up to 5 years, with MSCA co-funding the first 2 to 3 years and the institutions providing the funding (with internal or external funds) for an additional 2 years.
