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.

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
