Programmes MSCAYesterday a joint statement ‘No directionality in MSCA’ was published. The statement opposes the proposed introduction of directionality in the draft of the MSCA Work Programme 2026–2027. The signatory organisations shared their concerns about the European Commission’s proposal to establish targeted calls aligned with the EU's political priorities and use top-down funding from other parts of Horizon Europe to fund projects in strategic fields.
The statement is available on the websites of the current 18 signatory organisations: European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities ALLEA, Aurora Universities Network, Universities of Science and Technology in Europe CESAER, Association of European universities Coimbra Group, European Alliance for Social Sciences and Humanities EASSH, European Consortium of Innovative Universities ECIU, Alliance of independent European research institutes in the life sciences EU-LIFE, European University Association EUA, European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers Eurodoc, Initiative for Science Europe (ISE), League of European Research Universities LERU, Marie Curie Alumni Association MCAA, Polish Science Contact Agency PolSCA, SPARC Europe, The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities, Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe UNICA, and Young European Research Universities Network YERUN.

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.
