MSCA PF Concept Screening for Host Institutions
Select the most competitive candidates before investing internal resources.
We support universities and research centres in evaluating MSCA PF project ideas
to identify the strongest candidates and improve success rates.
Managing MSCA applications internally is resource-intensive.
Institutions often receive a high number of expressions of interest with very heterogeneous quality.
Evaluating these proposals requires time, expertise and consistent criteria.
Without structured evaluation:
• weak proposals consume internal resources
• strong candidates may be overlooked
• decisions are difficult to justify
• success rates remain low
What we provide
An external, structured evaluation of MSCA PF project ideas based on MSCA evaluation criteria.
This allows institutions to:
• identify high-potential candidates
• prioritise internal support
• improve proposal quality
• increase success rates
How the concept screening works
Step 1 — Submission of candidate ideas
Candidates submit a short project summary.
Step 2 — Expert evaluation
Each concept is assessed by an experienced evaluator.
Step 3 — Structured report
Institutions receive a clear assessment for each candidate.
