Guide for applicantsMSCA work programme 2018-2020
read the call documents carefully : guide for applicants;
respect the structure of part b – do not try to innovate there!
write with the (weighted) evaluation criteria in front of you;
excellent research – skills training – career development;
be sure your host institution (or partners) can support you;
start preparing early (ideally months in advance);
log in to the participant portal at an early stage and be sure you know how to use it (it has a learning curve…);
save versions - but try not to submit at the last second!

MSCA IF – proposal tips be ambitious – aim at the top of your scientific field
excellent research + complementary training & career objectives
align your career strategy with that of the ERA (which is broad)
interdisciplinary and inter-sectorial well-viewed (if not essential)
search online for presentations on how to write a proposal (especially
from NCPs – H2020 National Contact Points)
there are NCPs for the MSCA – you can ask questions of those for your
countries of origin and/or of destination
seek the advice of experienced colleagues – MSCA fellows
be prepared to resubmit (using evaluation summary reports)
MSCA IF – common mistakes it is a… “marketing/ sales” pitch of the research… and the career
development of the fellow
the philosophy is “competitive calls” for proposals…not “subsidies”…!
objectives and “state-of-the-art” are elaborate and in-depth, but implementation/ methodology, “beyond-the-state-of-the-art” and impact are under-developed.
evaluators don’t have too much time... keep it simple and concise!
no duplications of previous works/projects, but... building on them!
use tables and diagrams (relevant and easily understandable)
write for the “non-specialist” – educate the evaluator to understand what you want to do and why it’s worth the funding... !
By Pierantonios Papazoglou, NCP, the Cyprus Institute
“you cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. to that end, each of us must work for our own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think can be most useful”.
– Marie Skłodowska-Curie
