Otvoren je poziv na natječaj MSCA Science-Policy pitch – predstavite svoj MSCA projekt u tri minute!

U okviru nadolazećeg španjolskog predsjedavanja Vijećem EU-a, Europska komisija organizira natječaj i nagrade za MSCA istraživače!

Prijašnji i trenutni MSCA istraživači imaju priliku predstaviti svoje istraživanje kroz trominutne prezentacije. Kroz prezentaciju potrebno je objasniti kako istraživanje pridonosi približavanju znanosti i kreiranju te donošenju politika.
Kroz izlaganje potrebno je naglasiti:

Tax on European Marie Curie IF (Host institution in UK)

Dear All,

I have been in the UK for nearly a year now as a MSCA IF. My host institution has been paying me a gross monthly salary of 5650 GBP (I have not opted for the USS pension scheme, and have a family, so the gross amount may vary a bit for other research fellows in UK).

My question is about the "tax paid" that appears in my monthly salary slip (Not the NI Contribution, but the Tax). This monthly tax amount is 1230 GBP, which equates to about 21.5%. The tax code used by the University is 1257L.

Extension of Researcher's contract form remaining RTN funds (MSCA IF)

Dear MSCA Alumni,

Have anyone of you had their employment contract at their host institution extended beyond the end date of the project from remaining funds in the Research, Training and Network budget? I was discussing this with my Department and have always assumed that this would be possible. Now I was very surprised to hear from my Department Manager that my contract cannot be extended beyond the end date of the project. Please share your experiences or direct me to any useful sources of information.

All best wishes
