Survey to collect best practice examples on supervision in MSCA

Published on | 1 year ago

Programmes 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.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
