MSCA Fellow of the month initiative - call open for nominations

Published on | 6 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.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
