Programmes MSCAThe revised version of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Work Programme 2023-2025 (v 3.0 14 May 2025) was published last week and can be found under reference documents on the European Commission Funding & Tender Portal.
A summary of the open and upcoming calls in the MSCA work programme can be found in the European Commission press release and news article on the MSCA website.
A key novelty is the introduction of the MSCA Choose Europe for Science pilot initiative with a call budget of 22.5 million euro, part of the Commission's 500 million euro Choose Europe package for 2025-2027 to make Europe a magnet for researchers, and designed to address brain drain and improve the long-term prospects of researchers. The scheme will support host organisations committed to offering stable, attractive research careers. The MSCA Choose Europe for Science 2025 call will open on 1 October and close on 3 December 2025.
More information on the MSCA Choose Europe for Science pilot initiative is available in this Q&A overview and on the dedicated page on the MSCA website which needs to be updated with the call documents. Potential applicants can look out for info sessions organised ahead of the opening of the call. It is expected the call documents to be available before the info sessions will be organised.

The NIS Cooperation Group has launched a survey to collect feedback aimed at guiding the future steps towards implementing quantum-safe cryptography in Europe. This initiative follows the release of the "Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)". Quantum computing poses significant challenges to data... read more
The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
