Eligibility and Host

Researcher questions

Questions researchers often ask

What should be verified before selecting an MSCA host?

Check the current call rules, mobility history, host eligibility, researcher-host complementarity, facilities, supervision, training resources and the practical feasibility of the proposed work.

Does a strong host replace a strong research profile?

No. Host quality and researcher quality are complementary. The proposal should show why this specific combination creates scientific, training and career value.

Where should current eligibility rules be checked?

Use the current European Commission and European Research Executive Agency documents for the relevant call year before making a final eligibility decision.
