Guidelines for H2020 MSCA-ITN applications
Who can be a beneficiary of an MSCA-ITN?
- Institutions from the academic or nonacademic sector
- Institutions from EU member countries or associated countries
- Beneficiaries have to recruit at least one young researcher for 3 to 36 months
- Beneficiaries provide scientific and/or non-scientific training to young researchers
Who are the young researchers (ESRs)?
- From any countries
- With less than 4 years of full time research since the obtention of their master degree (or equivalent)
- With less than 12 months in the host country in the past 36 months
Types of MSCA-ITN
ETN (European Training Networks)
- Minimum 3 beneficiaries from 3 EU countries or associated countries
- Participation in the non-academic sector is strongly advised
- Enrollment in PhD program is not mandatory
EID (European Industrial Doctorates)
- Minimum 2 beneficiaries – 1 academic, one non-academic
- Minimum 2 EU countries or associated countries
- Young researchers have to get a PhD at the end of the project
- Mandatory cosupervision of the PhD (one supervisor from the academic sector, the other from the nonacademic sector)

Budget of MSCA-ITN
The financial support of H2020 MSCA-ITN by the EU takes into account a correction coefficient for the host country. It covers:
- Living, mobility and family allowances for the researcher (gross salary 3,150€)
- Research, training and networking costs for the institution (1,800€/month)
- Management and indirect costs (1,200€/month)
