MSCA: English reading version for model employment contracts published

01. Mar 2024

German entities using the model employment contracts in accordance with section 611 BGB (German Civil Code) for their MSCA fellows can now access an English reading versions of these contract templates. The English versions can be provided to fellows to help explain their employment contract. In addition, minor conceptual adjustments have been made to the German contract templates.

The model employment contracts according to § 611 BGB take into account the requirements of the European Commission and make it possible to cover the allowances used in the MSCA programme through the fellows' salary. Possible funding gaps that could arise due to the use of recruitment contracts according to TV-L/TVöD are thus avoided. The model contracts serve as a non-binding guidance. A legal review must be carried out by the employing institution in any case when using the sample texts (even individual sections).

The working group that created the models is coordinated by KoWi and the German MSCA National Contact Point (NCP). It includes representatives from the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg and the Federal Working Group of EU Officers at Universities in Germany (BAK), the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and the University of Duisburg-Essen.
