MSCA end-of-fellowship survey shows high level of satisfaction with the programme

The European Commission has published a survey on Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) researchers’ experience, skills acquired and career paths after their fellowship. The survey is based on an evaluation questionnaire which all participating researchers must complete immediately after the fellowship, and a follow-up questionnaire two years later. The European Commission regularly publishes the latest results of these two questionnaires. The 2024 report notably looks at results according to different scientific fields. The 2024 survey shows amongst others that

• Overall, fellows report a high satisfaction with the quality of MSCA training.
• The skills acquired during the fellowship are highly relevant for fellows in their career afterwards.
• Two years later, more than 98% of fellows had used the skills acquired during the MSCA fellowship in their work.
• Over two-thirds of fellows used the skills they developed to a large or very large extent, with the highest proportion for former chemistry fellows (71%). 
• Under Horizon Europe, training under MSCA projects also covers new emerging skills required for research careers, including open science practices and for the green and digital transitions.
