This aims to stimulate regional, national or international programmes to foster excellence in researchers’ training, mobility and career development. This will be achieved by co-funding new or existing regional, national and international programmes to open up to, and provide for international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary research training, as well as transnational and cross-sectoral mobility of researchers at all stages of their career. Proposals may be submitted for the following topics: •MSCA-COFUND-2020-FP fellowship programmes; •MSCA-COFUND-2020-DP doctoral programmes. Beneficiaries in these programmes must be legal entities established in an EU member state or Horizon 2020 associated country that funds or implements doctoral or fellowship programmes for researchers. Funding will support experienced researchers for a period of at least three months. Grants are worth up to €10 million. The remuneration costs provided for researchers recruited under an employment contract are worth at least €2,709 a month for early-stage researchers and €3,836 a month for experienced researchers. The remuneration costs provided for researchers recruited under a status equivalent to a fixed-amount fellowship are at least €1,354.5 a month for early-stage researchers and €1,918 a month for experienced researchers. The total budget is worth €100 million. Ref: H2020-MSCA-COFUND-2020.
