Priročnika za pripravo predlogov projektov na razpis Obzorje Evropa MSCA podoktorske štipendije 2022

Vse prijavitelje na razpis Obzorje Evropa MSCA podoktorske štipendije 2022 obveščamo, da je Evropska komisija ažurirala Guide for applicants MSC PF. 

Ključna novost je po mnenju Evropske komisije v "introducing a clarification on the conditions for a successful PhD defence, as part of the eligibility criteria." 

Zadnjo verzijo najdete tu: Guide for applicants - MSCA PF 2022_V1.2.pdf (europa.eu)

Danes pa je evropsko združenje NCP za MSCA objavilo nov dokument MSCA-NET PF Handbook, ki ga prilagamo in toplo priporočamo v branje vsem kandidatkam in kandidatom za MSCA podoktorsk štipendijo. 

Priročnik najdete tu: MSCA-NET PF Handbook.  

Želim vam uspešno pripravo vašega MSCA PF projetka in prijazno poletje!

Evropska komisija je danes obvestila prijavitelje z rezultati razpisov MSCA Staff Exchanges in COFUND 2021

Evropska komisija je danes obvestila prijavitelje z rezultati MSCA razpisov Staff Exchanges in COFUND 2021.

Na MSCA razpis za izmenjavo osebja so slovenske raziskovalne organizacije prijavila en koordinacijski projekt, sodelujejo pa vsaj pri dvanajstih prijavljenih projektih. 

Na glavnem seznamu za financiranje so trije projekti, kjer na dveh sodeluje Kemijski inštitut in na enem Slovenska tiskovna akgencija.  

 

Na MSCA razpis za COFUND so slovenske raziskovalne organizacije prijavile pet projektov za izvajanje doktorskega ali podoktorskega raziskovanja.  

Na glavnem seznamu za financiranje je en slovenski projekt iz Univerze v Novi Gorici za izvajanje podoktorskih raziskav. 

Dva slovenska projekta, eden iz Univerze v Ljubljani za izvajanje podoktorskih raziskav in drugi iz Kemijskega inštituta za izvajanje doktorskega študija, sta dosegla MSCA Pečat odličnosti. 

Sofinancirski del za izvedbo projekta na glavnem seznamu za financirane bo prispevalo Ministrstvo za izobraževanje, znanost in šport, in sicer iz evropskih strukturnih skladov v okviru Programa za izvajanje evropske kohezijske politike za obdobje 2021-2027, Prednostne naloge 1 Pametnejša Evropa s spodbujanjem inovativne in pametne gospodarske preobrazbe. 

Oba projekta s podeljenima MSCA Pečatoma odličnosti bosta lahko zaprosila za celotno financiranje projekta iz evropskih strukturnih skladov na MIZŠ.  

Vsem trem projektom čestitamo za izjemen uspeh!

Neformalni predhodni pregled (pre-screening) predlogov projektov za razpis Obzorje Evropa MSCA podoktorske štipendije (HORIZON-MSCA-2022-PF-01)

Pomembna naloga nacionalnih kontaktnih točk je pomoč raziskovalkam in raziskovalcem ter organizacijam pri izboljšanju sodelovanja v Obzorju Evropa. Zato vam poleg drugih aktivnosti nudimo tudi neformalni predhodni pregled (pre-screening) vašega projektnega predloga za razpis Obzorje Evropa MSCA podoktorske štipendije (HORIZON-MSCA-2022-PF-01).

Za neformalni predhodni pregled vašega projektnega predloga se prijavite z mailom na stojan.sorcan@gov.si ,  kjer napišete datum oddaje vaše dokumentacije za pregled. Ker je število časovnih mest za pregled omejeno, vam priporočamo, da si zagotovite svoje mesto kmalu. Zadnji dan za oddajo dokumentacije je 9. september 2022. Prednost pri obravnavi bodo imele udeleženke in udeleženci MIZŠ delavnic o pripravi MSCA podoktorskih projektov.

Neformalni predhodni pregled (pre-screening) projektnega predloga, opravljen s strani nacionalne kontaktne točke Obzorja Evropa, bo pripravljen z največjo možno skrbnostjo in zaupnostjo ob uporabi razpoložljivega znanja, usmeritev in navodil, metodologij in tehnologij, upoštevajoč mednarodne znanstvene in tehnične standarde. Neformalni predhodni pregled se nanaša predvsem na nekatere metodološke vidike, kot so jasnost, preglednost in popolnost prijave, skladnost z delovnim programom, usklajenost proračuna, vpliv in izvedba del, ne nanaša pa se na znanstveno vsebino.

Kljub opravljenemu neformalnemu predhodnemu pregledu zaradi narave procesov izbora projektov na ravni Evropske komisije ni mogoče napovedati uspešnosti posameznega projektnega predloga, predlaganega v financiranje.

Zato Nacionalna kontaktna točka Obzorja Evropa ne prevzema nobene odgovornosti za kakršnokoli neposredno ali posredno izgubo oziroma škodo, materialno in nematerialno, ki bi prijavitelju nastala zaradi dostopa, uporabe ali odločitve, sprejete na podlagi pridobljenih informacij v okviru opravljenega predhodnega pregleda.

PF/ DN: What is the current status of UK in Horizon Europe?

UK is to be considered as an Associated Country to Horizon Europe in the frame of PF and DN calls.

For PF: a fellow who plans to be hosted by an institution located in UK must apply for a European PF.

For DN: partners located in UK can be beneficiaries and the doctoral candidate(s) recruited by UK partners are taken into account in the count of person-months funded by the EC (max. 360 or 540 person-months depending on the DN mode).

 If the HE Association Agreement between UK and EC is not signed by the signature of the PF 2022/ DN 2022 Grant Agreements, successful UK applicants will receive funding from UKRI. Currently, the UK government guarantee only covers those eligible calls where the grant agreement needs to be signed by 31 December 2022.

Sodelovanje Švice v razpisih MSCA v Obzorju Evropa

Iz Švice smo dobili naslednje obvestilo o sodelovanju njihove države v razpisih MSCA v Obzorju Evropa:

"This is just to inform you that we updated our factsheet on  how to include Swiss Partners in MSCA Doctoral Networks.

The most important message is that Swiss institutions CAN be included as ‘associated partners’ ON TOP of the maximum EU contribution. So Swiss associated partners can host doctoral candidates and will receive direct national funding. You find the factsheet on the Euresearch MSCA webpage."

Key Information: 

Swiss eligibility

"As a non-EU country, Switzerland has to negotiate the association to Horizon Europe. Currently, Switzerland has the status of a third country. Organisations based in Switzerland can participate in MSCA Doctoral Networks (former ITN), MSCA Staff Exchanges and COFUND as ‘Associated Partners’. The Swiss project partner will not be funded by the European Commission but by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation. Furthermore, as long as this status remains unchanged, researchers with a Swiss host institution are not eligible to apply to the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships. Switzerland is eligible as host country for the outgoing phase of a Global Fellowship. However, Swiss nationals are NOT eligible for participation in MSCA Global Fellowships unless they are long-term residents of an EU Member State or a country associated to Horizon Europe. 

For further information, please check here."
