The deadlines and procedures are set out in the evaluation result letter. For more information on complaints about proposal rejection: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/funding-tenders-opportunities/display/OM/Complaints+about+proposal+rejection.

For calls with deadlines in 2022 and beyond, once a project proposal is selected for funding following evaluations, consortium partners concerned by the eligibility criterion will have until Grant Agreement signature to confirm they have a GEP in place.

This is mainly for statistics purposes.

The maximum amount for DN is up to 1 page. For PF it is up to ½ page. This is a maximum that is indicated and not expected.

For DN it applies to the proposal as a whole.

For PF, as of 2022, proposals involving the same beneficiary and individual researcher submitted to the previous call of MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships under Horizon Europe and having received a score of less than 70% must not be resubmitted the following year.

The deadlines and procedures are set out in the evaluation result letter. For more information on complaints about proposal rejection: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/funding-tenders-opportunities/display/OM/Complaints+about+proposal+rejection.

A 50-50 time commitment is not possible in PF – at least 70% of the time must be spent in the main host institution (beneficiary), and only up to 30% in any other (partner organisation for the secondment).

They can present an official document issued by the government that shows all the contracts a person has had during a period of time. Without an official document, maybe a bank certificate or statement could work.

Having part-time contracts and participating in researcher projects does not look like a complete parental leave as the researcher was somewhat active in research during this period.

The time researchers want deducted for parental leave is the official time they have taken for parental leave and it needs to be documented, with a certificate from the employer indicating this, together with Social Security documentation.

Taxation does not depend on MSCA rules but on national legislation and also on agreements between different countries.

The applicant could ask the EURAXESS centres of related countries for help.

The fellow should also enquire if there is some sort of double taxation system between the countries that prevent or obliges them to pay taxes during the outgoing phase.  

This is mainly for statistics purposes.

‘Associated partners’ are entities which participate in the action, but do not sign the grant agreement, without the right to charge costs or claim contributions. They contribute to the implementation of the action, for instance hosting secondments.

Linked third parties can be added as Associated partners linked to a Beneficiary. The type of link and involvement and activities of such entities must be clearly described in the proposal, Part B, and it will be assessed as part of the evaluation.

In the current text of the Work Programme no letter of commitment is required for Associated partners linked to a beneficiary.

There are 3 possible links: [Same group] if the legal entity is under the same direct or indirect control as another legal entity; [Controls] if a legal entity directly or indirectly controls another legal entity; or [Is controlled by] if a legal entity is directly or indirectly controlled by another legal entity.
