Programmes MSCA

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.

BEAT-AF - Ground-Breaking Electroporation-based intervention for Atrial Fibrillation treatment

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
