Programmes MSCAThe 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

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
