Aim of the event
This webinar provided attendees with a comprehensive overview over the participation of the non-academic sector in the 2022 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Staff Exchanges Call, which will close on 8 March 2023.

The Staff Exchanges promote international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility of research and innovation staff leading to the sharing of knowledge and best practices. The scheme is open to all subject areas and set out to foster a shared culture of research and innovation as well as to support creativity and entrepreneurship. The call supports researchers, technical, administrative, and managerial staff.
