"The remarkable strength of the MSCA lies in how it has consistently anticipated and delivered on emerging priorities - from AI to quantum - without needing political direction. Let us keep it that way," said Marta Agostinho, Executive Director of EU-LIFE.

EU-LIFE, @coimbragroup.bsky.social, @yerunnetwork.bsky.social & many EU research organisations urge EU to keep #MSCA 's bottom-up approach.

MSCA’s success lies in its openness to all fields & topics. Thematic restrictions would stifle innovation & limit researchers' opportunities.

💡Increased funding for research and development, reaching over 3% of GDP
