As you may already know, BU has been a successfully applying for the Horizon Europe MSCA Staff Exchanges (MSCA SE, previously Horizon 2020 MSCA RISE). The 2024 call of the MSCE SE action is open for applications until 5 February 2025.
We would appreciate it if all academics considering applying for this call submit their ItB by 9 December 2024.
This is not a formal deadline, however, given the number of bids we support and the extended Christmas break, we may not be able to support your application if your intention to bid comes in too late.
This is the Horizon Europe 2024 call, so all eligible UK institutions can apply as beneficiaries and lead a consortium. Please note that competition for Horizon Europe grants is significantly increasing this year and you must ensure the highest quality of your proposal to be successful.
