Programmes MSCAYesterday a joint statement ‘No directionality in MSCA’ was published. The statement opposes the proposed introduction of directionality in the draft of the MSCA Work Programme 2026–2027. The signatory organisations shared their concerns about the European Commission’s proposal to establish targeted calls aligned with the EU's political priorities and use top-down funding from other parts of Horizon Europe to fund projects in strategic fields.
The statement is available on the websites of the current 18 signatory organisations: European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities ALLEA, Aurora Universities Network, Universities of Science and Technology in Europe CESAER, Association of European universities Coimbra Group, European Alliance for Social Sciences and Humanities EASSH, European Consortium of Innovative Universities ECIU, Alliance of independent European research institutes in the life sciences EU-LIFE, European University Association EUA, European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers Eurodoc, Initiative for Science Europe (ISE), League of European Research Universities LERU, Marie Curie Alumni Association MCAA, Polish Science Contact Agency PolSCA, SPARC Europe, The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities, Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe UNICA, and Young European Research Universities Network YERUN.

The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
