Max A.“I applied twice for MSCA. Both proposals were strong, but neither was funded. I want to turn the research into a centre or company.”Sara M.“I finished my MSCA fellowship, but I could not secure the academic position I expected. I want to establish my own research company.”Nima K.“I am a PhD student. In about two years I want to apply for MSCA and other European research programmes.”Elena P.“I am already an MSCA fellow and I have about one year left. I want academic, industry and funding options ready before the contract ends.”David R.“My proposal was evaluated positively, but the available budget was limited. I want another funding route for the same research direction.”
Lina S.“I am outside Europe and want to prepare for a future MSCA application. I first need the right host and a clear view of timing.”Omar H.“My CV is academic and publication-heavy. I want to move into industry and translate my research experience for employers.”Marta G.“My fellowship ended several years ago. I want to return to Europe and reactivate my former MSCA network.”Jonas B.“I have a promising research idea, but I need stronger publications and profile evidence before the funding calls I want to target.”Priya N.“I work in industrial R&D and want to build a stronger European research profile without leaving industry.”

Career architecture

One research career. Several routes.

The program is designed around parallelisation: funding, employment, publications, research business and professional continuity can move together rather than one after another.

Program logic

Assess → Plan → Parallelise → Execute → Review → Transition

Orchestration

Define what needs to be done, in what sequence, with which people, tools, documents and deadlines.

Parallelisation

Open several realistic routes instead of relying on one proposal, employer, university or funding decision.

Amplification

Use Cademix infrastructure, AI, templates, mentoring and workflow support to increase execution capacity.
