Programmes MSCA Horizon Europe

A call for a pilot European Fellowship Scheme for Researchers at Risk is currently open with deadline 7 September 2023. The indicative call budget is €6 million to fund one project. The main objective of the call is:

  • to pilot a European fellowship scheme to support researchers at risk to address the currently fragmented and limited support at EU level for researchers at risk.
  • to enhance the support for researchers at risk to continue their work in a safe environment.
  • to set up, test and validate selection procedures for at-risk researchers and matchmaking with hosts in the EU (approximately 30 fellowships for non-EU researchers with different legal statuses).

The European Fellowship Scheme for Researchers at Risk action was allocated to the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) and the implementation will be monitored by the European Research Executive Agency (REA). Please find in these two videos more information on the background and application procedure for this call.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
