The GLOPOL-MSCA project delivered the presentation “Navigating MSCA Opportunities under Pillar I” during the online Horizon Europe Unlocked: Monthly Drop-in Q&A Session for New Zealand – May Session, held on 7 May 2026. The session provided a focused overview of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), with particular attention to the Staff Exchanges and Doctoral Networks schemes, highlighting their relevance for institutions in New Zealand. Participants engaged in discussions on participation modalities for third countries, with a strong interest in understanding eligibility conditions and funding mechanisms.
Through practical guidance and targeted examples, attendees gained valuable insights into how MSCA can support international mobility, structured doctoral training, and inter-sectoral collaboration. The session also highlighted how New Zealand’s existing experience in Horizon Europe Pillar II projects can be strategically leveraged to strengthen participation in Pillar I, particularly in building competitive consortia and fostering long-term collaboration with European partners.
Overall, the event contributed to raising awareness and reinforcing institutional readiness to engage more actively in Horizon Europe.
