MSCA

The November MSCA ‘Fellow of the Month’ is Christina Makoundou. Her research addresses two urban challenges: construction waste and road safety. Through her MSCA postdoctoral fellowship BioROAD² at Universiteit Antwerpen in Belgium, she is advancing this idea with biobased and recycled materials to build pavements that are both safer and more sustainable, combining waste reuse with safety design. In this article her research funded by the MSCA is explained. Watch out for more inspiring stories from MSCA fellows to be published on the MSCA website in the coming months.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

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.
