MSCA Fellow of the month initiative
As of spring 2025, we will shine a spotlight on the people behind MSCA-funded research. Each month, one fellow will feature in a dedicated story on this website, offering a closer look at their work, journey and impact.

The ‘Fellow of the Month’ initiative 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.
Call for nominations is open
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
- fellows themselves
The 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
Linking research stories to broader priorities
The selected testimonials will be published 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 research closer to citizens and demonstrate how it contributes to European priorities and global challenges.
From early-stage researchers to experienced scientists, and across a wide spectrum of fields - from climate and health to digital innovation and the social sciences - this initiative will highlight the richness of the MSCA community and its role in shaping the future of research.
We will announce the first featured fellow in the coming weeks.
