MSCA Fellow of the month initiative - call open for nominations

Published on | 3 weeks ago

Programmes MSCA

The MSCA unit of Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture of the European Commission will start with the MSCA ‘Fellow of the month’ communication initiative, which will present testimonials from current and former MSCA fellows. It will offer insight into their scientific achievements, personal experiences, and the broader contribution of their projects to society. The aim is to reflect the diversity and excellence of the MSCA community - across countries, disciplines and sectors.

The selected testimonials will be published on a monthly basis, and in connection with key EU policy themes, international or European days, and relevant science communication moments throughout the year. In this way, the initiative will help bring MSCA-funded research closer to citizens and demonstrate how it contributes to European priorities and global challenges.

To select the fellows, a call for nominations is now open. Nominations can be submitted via a short online form. Nominations are welcome from supervisors, colleagues and fellows themselves. The submissions deadline is 11 May 2025 at 12.00, CEST.

Fellows will be chosen by the European Commission based on criteria including

  • the quality and relevance of their research
  • its societal or policy impact
  • the geographic and thematic diversity of their projects

This call has been announced in the news section on the European Commission MSCA website.

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
