The European Commission and the European Research Executive Agency (REA) have published new information packages for researchers and staff members taking part in projects supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie under Horizon Europe.

Hands-on information

These new publications provide useful, hands-on information and are a reference source for any researcher or staff member taking part in the programme.

The different packages address the following participants

• all MSCA fellows (general information)
• early-stage researchers in Doctoral Networks
• early-stage and postdoctoral researchers in COFUND projects
• research and innovation staff members in Staff Exchanges projects

A specific package for researchers who obtained an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship will be published very soon.

MSCA coordinators and supervisors are strongly encouraged to disseminate the documents among researchers and staff members in their projects.
