Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: For staff members Increased set of research and transferable skills and competences, leading to improved employability and career prospects within and outside academia; More knowledge and innovative ideas converted into products, processes and services; More entrepreneurial mind-sets, testing new and innovative ideas; Increased international exposure leading to extended networks and opportunities; Enhanced networking and communication capacities with scientific peers, as well as with the general public that will increase and broaden the research and innovation impact. For participating organisations Innovative ways of cooperation and transfer of knowledge between sectors and disciplines; Strengthened and broader international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaborative networks; Boosted R&I capacity.

Exchanges between organisations within EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries should mainly be inter-sectoral, but same-sector exchanges are also possible. Interdisciplinarity is particularly encouraged for secondments between academic organisations. The collaborative approach of MSCA Staff Exchanges should exploit complementary competences of the participating organisations and create synergies between them.

The project should inter alia enable networking activities and the organisation of workshops and conferences, to facilitate sharing of knowledge and testing of innovative approaches for specific R&I topics. Skills’ development For participating staff members, the project should offer new skills acquisition and career development perspectives.
