MSCA Fellow of the month initiative - call open for nominations

Published on | 3 months ago

Programmes 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.

BEAT-AF - Ground-Breaking Electroporation-based intervention for Atrial Fibrillation treatment

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
