With the MSCA, companies, and in particular SMEs, can recruit PhD candidates or experienced researchers (post-doc) during their entire fellowship and participate in staff exchange programmes in order to benefit from knowledge transfer and enhance their competitiveness. 

Well-trained, entrepreneurially-minded researchers who can move between academic and private sector are essential to this successful collaboration. This is why the MSCA are promoting Business-Academic collaborations that focus on giving researchers adequate skills and opportunities to contribute to SME and other business growth.
