Named after Marie Skłodowska-Curie, the pioneering scientist who discovered radioactivity and won two Nobel Prizes, the MSCA have supported more than 150,000 researchers worldwide. Over the years, the programme has become a strong driver of scientific excellence, international mobility and collaboration between academia and industry.
A legacy of collaboration and opportunity
For three decades, the MSCA have helped ideas move across countries and institutions. They have supported early career researchers, encouraged knowledge exchange and contributed to scientific progress in many fields.
As part of the anniversary, the European Commission has launched a dedicated website and shared a video message from Professor Hélène Langevin-Joliot, the granddaughter of Marie Skłodowska-Curie. In the interview, she reflects on her grandmother’s legacy and the values behind the programme, including freedom of research, support for young scientists and international cooperation.
BIO-MICRO as part of the MSCA network
The BIO-MICRO consortium is proud to be part of this European research community. Through MSCA funding, our researchers contribute to advancing knowledge in critical care medicine and related fields.
This anniversary is not only a moment to reflect on past achievements, but also to look ahead. The MSCA continue to play an important role in shaping the future of science by supporting researchers and strengthening collaboration across Europe and beyond.
