Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) is a programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training. MSCA equips researchers with new knowledge and skills, including transferable ones and providing them with an international as well as inter-sectoral exposure (including through academia-business collaboration). MSCA also contribute to the development of excellent doctoral programmes, postdoctoral training programmes and collaborative research projects.
Main principles applying to MSCA
There are five Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions:

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.
