Yesterday a joint statement ‘We need much more MSCA!’ was published. The currently 13 organisations that endorse the statement lament the lack of MSCA in Mario Draghi’s report the Future of European Competitiveness and the Mission Letters for the proposed Executive Vice-President for People, Skills and Preparedness Roxana Mînzatu (letter), and Commissioner for Startups, Research, and Innovation Ekaterina Zaharieva (letter). In the statement emphasis is laid on the lasting impact of the programme on the careers of researchers, research, doctoral and postdoctoral training in Europe and the universities, research institutions and non-academic organisations. They urge the European Commission, Parliament and Council to recognise the MSCA's invaluable contributions by increasing its budget, while maintaining its purely bottom-up research character.
