▪️ Be the first author of a research work that has been invited for presentation at an international conference, symposium, or workshop in the form of an oral presentation or a poster;
▪️ Use the MTGs for their own benefit and not for someone else’s (e.g., teammates, students, etc.);

Furthermore, there are three additional rules:
▪️ Current MSCA or MSCA4Ukraine fellows having an MSCA with a specific budget line for events and meetings are only eligible in exceptional cases, for which a reasonable justification needs to be provided.
▪️ A person can only be awarded one MTG within a period of twelve months, counting from the date of submission of the first application for a subsequently approved MTG.
▪️ Grants cannot be attributed retrospectively, and therefore applicants cannot apply for an MTG to attend an event that already took place.
Not covered by MTGs are:
▪️ research/teaching visits
▪️ events or meetings organized by the applicant’s employer (or potential employer);
▪️ meetings organized by the project or consortiums the applicant works for (or intends to work for);
