Programmes MSCA MSCA

In April 2024 a €10 million top-up for the MSCA4Ukraine initiative was announced by the European Commission (Horizon Europe work programme 2023-2025 MSCA). For the second call it is expected approximately 50 fellowships (with a minimum duration of 6 months and a maximum duration of 24 months) will be awarded.

For the second call an Information for Applicants webpage with several call documents, including the application templates, a FAQ, and a webinar recording have been made available on the Scholars at Risk Europe website.

Applications must be submitted by prospective host organisations on behalf of displaced researcher(s) from Ukraine (candidate(s)). Host organisations can be academic or non-academic organisations in any EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country. Organisations located in Ukraine are not eligible to apply as primary host organisations but can host researchers during a secondment arrangement.

Candidates: either postdoctoral researchers or researchers who, on or after 24 February 2022, were enrolled as doctoral candidates at a higher educational institution in Ukraine, and who have been displaced from Ukraine on or after 24 February 2022 are eligible to be nominated. Only one proposal per individual researcher can be submitted. Current and former MSCA4Ukraine fellows are not eligible to be nominated.

The submission portal will be opened on 5 August and closed on 5 September 23:59h CEST. The access link will be made available on the Information for Applicants webpage.

The evaluation and selection process will take place between October 2024 and February 2025 and the expected start of the fellowships between April and June 2025. Between May and November 2025 applicants from the reserve list will be offered funding should any awarded fellowship offers be declined, until all available funds have been disbursed.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
