Programmes MSCAAs part of their 30th anniversary in 2026, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) are teaming up with Frontiers for Young Minds (FYM) to publish a special collection on “Young researchers who will change the world”. FYM is a non-profit linked to the scientific journal Frontiers. Its goal is to make cutting-edge science discoveries available to younger audiences.
The MSCA is looking for 12 excellent abstracts (between 200 and 300 words) from young MSCA fellows that will later be turned into 12 engaging short papers (1500 words) with the help of young students between the ages of 8 to 15. This call is for young MSCA fellows (PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers or research and innovation staff). The submissions deadline is 31 July 2025, 12.00, CEST.
Find more information about the call, evaluation criteria, previous FYM articles and application form in this news article on the MSCA website.

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.
