In order to support scientific and research institutions in preparing project proposals for calls to Horizon Europe ERA Chairs and MSCA Staff Exchanges, a workshop was held on February 8, 2022, aimed at providing participants with the necessary knowledge to prepare project proposals.
In the first part, the workshop participants were introduced in detail to the call of Horizon Europe ERA Chairs, which aims to support research institutions in hiring the best researchers in the field in which they want to become leaders and form recognizable teams/centers in this field. The budget of projects under this call can amount to 2.5 million euros.
The second part of the workshop was dedicated to call analysis and the project application for the MSCA Staff Exchanges Program. This call promotes intersectoral, international and interdisciplinary cooperation, in the research topic of the project, through paid employee exchanges (in the period from 1 month to 12 months).
Although the workshop was primarily organized in order to support the preparation of project proposals for these two specific calls, participants will be able to use the knowledge gained in this workshop for other calls within the Horizon Europe Program.
The workshop, which was organized online, was attended by over 100 participants - researchers, research associates, professors and assistant professors from faculties and institutes from Cacak, Nis, Kosovska Mitrovica, Novi Sad and Belgrade.
