ID: MSCA-RISE-2020
Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) funds short-term exchanges of personnel between academic, industrial and commercial organisations throughout the world.
It helps people develop their knowledge, skills and careers, while building links between organisations working in different sectors of the economy, including universities, research institutes and SMEs.
Who can apply?
Proposals must include at least three partners, which can be academic or non-academic organisations from three different countries. At least two of these should be from the EU or associated countries. Partners from further afield can also join.
Exchanges between organisations in EU or associated countries must be between different sectors. In worldwide partnerships, exchanges within the same sector are possible. For available local funding for participants from non-EU countries (not eligible for automatic funding) please refer to the Horizon 2020 Online Manual.
Proposals should highlight:
- knowledge creation,
- sharing know-how, and
- skills development.
Research staff of any nationality and at any career level – from PhD preparation to experienced researchers – can undertake a secondment. Staff members working in managerial, technical or administrative roles can also take part.
What can be funded?
This action is open to all research areas, whether you are examining social issues like youth unemployment, or creating new solar power applications.
How does it work?
The grant supports the secondment of staff members for one month to one year. They must be engaged in or linked to research and innovation activities at their home organisation for a certain time prior to the secondment.
They return to their home organisation after the secondment, to pass on their knowledge.
Funding for a RISE project can last up to four years.
