MSCA

The MSCA unit of Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture of the European Commission will start with the MSCA ‘Fellow of the month’ communication initiative, which will present testimonials from current and former MSCA fellows. It will offer insight into their scientific achievements, personal experiences, and the broader contribution of their projects to society. The aim is to reflect the diversity and excellence of the MSCA community - across countries, disciplines and sectors.

The selected testimonials will be published on a monthly basis, and in connection with key EU policy themes, international or European days, and relevant science communication moments throughout the year. In this way, the initiative will help bring MSCA-funded research closer to citizens and demonstrate how it contributes to European priorities and global challenges.

To select the fellows, a call for nominations is now open. Nominations can be submitted via a short online form. Nominations are welcome from supervisors, colleagues and fellows themselves. The submissions deadline is 11 May 2025 at 12.00, CEST.

Fellows will be chosen by the European Commission based on criteria including

  • the quality and relevance of their research
  • its societal or policy impact
  • the geographic and thematic diversity of their projects

This call has been announced in the news section on the European Commission MSCA website.

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

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.
