This info session on Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) 2025 call is organised by the National Contact Points (NCPs) for MSCA in Belgium (NCP Federal BE, NCP-FNRS, NCP Flanders) to inform potential applicants and host institutions from both the academic and non-academic sectors (including industry, business, SMEs, governments, civil society organisations, cultural institutions, hospitals, etc.)
The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is expected to open on the 8th of May with an indicative deadline on 10 September 2025. Postdoctoral Fellowships support post-doctoral research and careers in all scientific fields. Supported researchers have a PhD and a maximum of 8 years of post-PhD research experience. This limit can be extended for several reasons (e.g. maternity leave, paternity leave, …) Host institutions need to be located in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country. Optional secondments during the fellowship can be in any country worldwide. Optional placements in an organisation in the non-academic sector (Non-Academic Placements) in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country are added at the end of the project. The grant amount depends on the number of person-months. The postdoctoral fellowships have a duration between 12 and 36 months (depending on the type).
During this information session the objectives of PFs, call modalities and hands-on information on the application submission and evaluation process will be provided, complemented by the perspectives from a MSCA PF fellow and an expert evaluator.
Participation to this webinar is free and open to any researcher in any career stage whom intend to apply with a Belgian host institution or any staff member of a Belgian host institution (both from the academic and non-academic sectors). Registration is required. The registration form offers the possibility to write any question for the speakers you might have at this stage.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
