Programmes MSCAThe Falling Walls Lab (FWL) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) 2025 is accepting submissions that showcase the quality, diversity and passion of the most innovative minds participating in the MSCA.
The FWL competition is an opportunity for MSCA fellows to present their projects and innovative ideas to the scientific community through 3-minute talks. During the talks, the speakers explain how their research helps to break down walls in science and society. This year’s edition will take place on 18 and 19 September 2025 in Lyngby, Denmark, as part of the MSCA conference organised with the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU (more information on the conference).
This year, MSCA will participate in two competitions organised by the Falling Walls Foundation:
The selected contestants will have the opportunity to take part in a professional coaching session and travel to Denmark to attend the MSCA Presidency Conference. The best projects will also get a chance to take part in the finale 6 to 9 November 2025 in Berlin, where they will follow a prestigious networking programme. The finalists of Falling Walls Venture will further have the chance to attract new investors and funding.
The submission deadline is extended from 18 May 2025 to 1 June 2025 at 12:00 CEST.
The full call and eligibility conditions are available in this MSCA news article. Both the submission form (EU Survey) and submission form on FWL’s website will have to be completed.

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
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.
