The Falling Walls Lab Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) is a pitch competition organised by the European Commission in cooperation with the Falling Walls Lab. 15 selected MSCA fellows will present – in 3 minutes each – their research topic, innovative project, social initiative, business model, or idea through a video pitch to peers, a jury made up of experts from academia and business, and the general public.

The Falling Walls Lab MSCA competition will take place online-only on 30 September 2021. Before the competition, participants will take part in coaching sessions to practise their communication and storytelling skills, get tips for video presentations and speeches and receive personalised advice from a professional coach. Competitors will be assisted to record a professional video pitch.

The Falling Walls Lab MSCA will nominate three finalists plus there is an audience prize. All finalists will get a prize.

The call for applications is currently open for ongoing MSCA fellows at the application deadline 4 July 2021. All information on the application and eligibility criteria can be found in the online announcement.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
