Outcomes of the 2007 -13 MCA • MSCA researchers from 140 nationalities, 24% from countries outside the EU Member States or FP 7 Associated Countries. • Almost 90 countries involved • More than 19 700 participations from Host organizations: Impressive scientific outcomes ü 76% from public sector ü 24% from private sector • 37% of MCA fellows were women, on average 33% of EU researchers were female • 10 600 projects funded

Fellows at the forefront of science • 30 scientists supported by the FP 7 MCA were involved in the 2012 discovery of the Higgs Boson at CERN. • The 2016 discovery of gravitational waves brought a new way to observe some of the darkest events in our universe. An FP 7 MCA project contributed to the breakthrough with 14 early-stage researchers, coordinated by the European Gravitational Observatory. • Several Nobel Prize winners were previously former MSCA fellows or scientists in charge

Nobel prize winners in MSCA "By bringing together all these experts from academia and industry in teams that look into this problem from different angles, we probably can come with original new solution“ Ben Feringa, 2016 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry "MCA postdoctoral Individual Fellowship was a critical moment in my career“ Stefan Hell, 2014 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry
