About MSCA & Citizens
The MSCA & Citizens call has been created to bring research and researchers closer to the public. Especially to families, pupils, students and social groups that do not have easy access to STEAM fields (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) or research activities.
The aim is to increase awareness of research and innovation activities, foster exchanges between researchers and society, show the impact of researchers’ work on citizens’ daily lives and raise the interest of young people in science and research education.
More details on the 2025 call
The 2025 call will close after the 22nd of October 2025. Applicants will be notified about the results in February 2026. For more details on the call, please visit the MSCA website. If you are looking for tips to start, take a look at these six steps to prepare your application.
