As the MSCA National Contact Point in Jordan, it is my pleasure to share with you the opening of a new round of Marie Sklodowska Curie actions: (Research and Innovation Staff Exchange-RISE). The RISE scheme is to promote international and inter-sector collaboration through research and innovation staff exchanges, and sharing of knowledge and ideas from research to market (and vice-versa). RISE involves organizations from the academic and non-academic sectors (in particular SMEs), based in Europe (EU Member States and Associated Countries) and outside Europe (third countries). So far, Jordan got funded for two RISE projects, implemented in partnership with NCARE ("beFore" project) and JUST ("Optarch" Project). European Commission has allocated 80 M€ for RISE, DEADLINE for applications is April 5th 2017.
