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.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
