MSCA MSCA

The European Commission is looking for success stories and inspirational examples of supervision practice across the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) community, to prepare an evidence-based guidance document that will support the existing MSCA guidelines on supervision.

The European Commission has published a survey to gather the examples and stories on the following key themes addressed in the guidelines:

  • Defining supervision
  • Acknowledgement of and support for individual diversity
  • Managing individual supervisor-supervisee relationships (specifically communication and aligning expectations)
  • The benefits and challenges of team supervision (multiple supervisors working together and taking on different roles)
  • Facilitating collective supervision (having cohorts of supervisees together)
  • Institutional support structures (including administration, recognition of supervision quality, community creation etc)
  • Training effective supervisors and supervisees

The survey is targeted to researchers and research support personnel who have been involved in MSCA projects. This includes doctoral and postdoctoral fellows, academic and non-academic supervisors, mentors, coaches, administrative and technical staff.

The deadline to share the experience or best practice example is 2 September 2024.

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.
