RISE: Is a staff member who changed their employer with another beneficiary within the same consortium during the project implementation eligible for a secondment?

This is acceptable provided that the staff member respects the one-month rule: be actively engaged in or linked to R&I activities for at least one month (full-time equivalent) at the sending institution before the first period of secondment (p. 32 in the MSCA Financial Guide). The staff member can be seconded from two different sending organisations and within the limit of 12 months for the duration of the project.
