This webinar on the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Cofund 2025 call is organised by the National Contact Points (NCPs) for MSCA in Belgium NCP Flanders, NCP-FNRS and NCP Federal BE.
The MSCA Cofund action provides complementary funding for new or existing doctoral programmes or postdoctoral programmes at regional, national and international level. Its aim is to spread the MSCA policies based on the European Charter for Researchers, including international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary research training and international and cross-sectoral mobilty of researchers in all stages of their career. The MSCA Cofund 2025 call is expected to open on the 23 January with a deadline on 24 June 2025.
During this webinar the objectives of Cofund, call modalities and hands-on information on the application submission and evaluation process will be provided, complemented by the perspectives from a partner in a MSCA Cofund and an expert evaluator. Furthermore an overview of the services of the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) will be presented (TBC).
Participation to this webinar is free and open to researchers and staff members willing to apply with a Belgian institution from the academic and non-academic sectors including industry, businesses, SMEs, public administration, civil society organisations, etc. Registration is required. The registration form offers the possibility to write any question for the speakers you might have at this stage.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
