Mobility Area 2026 Calls National Information Day

 

General Information Training for the MSCA Staff Exchanges 2026 Call, 12 February 2026, Ankara

Ankara

TRinHE_MSCA SE 2026_Agenda.pdf

On 12 February, within the scope of the Horizon Europe Turkey Technical Assistance Project, a one-day General Information Training on the MSCA Staff Exchanges 2026 Call will be organized in a hybrid format by the TÜBİTAK MSCA National Contact Points.

Within the Horizon Europe programme, researcher mobility plays a key role in strengthening the European Research Area (ERA). Implemented under the Excellent Science pillar, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) aim to strengthen Europe’s human capital, increase cross-border collaboration, and promote knowledge circulation between institutions and sectors. The Staff Exchanges action achieves these goals by bringing together academic and non-academic organizations through short-term international secondments.

In order to support the participation of the Turkish Research Area in this prestigious mobility programme, the training to be held in Ankara will address the MSCA Staff Exchanges 2026 Call in all its aspects. The training will provide a general overview of the programme’s objectives, eligibility criteria, and recent developments; followed by detailed information on project development logic, participation pathways, and especially the new features introduced with the 2026 Call.

From a programme-level perspective, MSCA Staff Exchanges is a bottom-up call with a broad scope and strong impact. The 2025 call received 363 proposals involving 2,757 organizations from 134 countries; approximately 17% of these applications included non-academic actors, including the private sector and SMEs. With a budget of approximately €100 million, the programme stands out as a powerful tool supporting cross-sector collaboration and institutional learning. Since the start of Horizon Europe, thousands of secondments have been supported under MSCA Staff Exchanges, contributing to the establishment of long-term partnerships among universities, research organizations, and industry.

Pre-registration is mandatory for participation.

Pre-registration:

*What is Transnational Access?
Transnational Access is a support mechanism that enables researchers to access specialised research facilities (laboratories, telescopes, archives, etc.) that are not available in their home countries. Thanks to this EU-funded programme, scientists can benefit from advanced technology infrastructures in different European countries free of charge or with support. Generally, travel and accommodation costs are also covered under the programme.

 

We are pleased to share the following information in the light of the evaluations made by the participants of the ‘European Union COST Projects Information Event’ organised by Toros University R&D Coordinatorship within the framework of our transparency and continuous improvement policy.

Our event was generally found positive by our participants and received an average score of 4.67 (out of 5). The detailed analysis results in the evaluation form showed that our event provided significant improvements in the knowledge and skill levels of our participants.

Our participants particularly emphasised that the content of the presentation was up-to-date and application-oriented. Participation and development processes of COST projects, project creation stages and sharing of experience-based information were among the most useful parts.

In addition, in line with the feedback of our participants, suggestions were evaluated in order to further improve our event and steps will be taken to explain the project application processes in more detail in the next events.

As Toros University R&D Coordination Office, our aim is to continuously improve our events and meet the expectations of our valuable participants at the highest level. We would like to thank all our participants for their contributions and we are pleased to announce that we will continue to make announcements about our future events.
