MSCA programme in HE

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fund excellent research and innovation and equip researchers at all stages of their career with new knowledge and skills, through mobility across borders and exposure to different sectors and disciplines. The MSCA help build Europe’s capacity for research and innovation by investing in the long-term careers of excellent researchers.

The MSCA also fund the development of excellent doctoral and postdoctoral training programmes and collaborative research projects worldwide. By doing so, they achieve a structuring impact on higher education institutions, research centres and non-academic organisations.

The MSCA promote excellence and set standards for high-quality researcher education and training in line with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the recruitment of researchers.

There are 5 types of MSCA targeting different objectives.

  • Doctoral Networks (DN)
    Supporting programmes to train doctoral candidates in academic and non-academic organisations.
  • Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF)
    Supporting career perspectives and excellence of postdoctoral researchers.
  • Staff Exchanges (SE)
    Encouraging collaborations between organisations through staff exchanges.
  • COFUND
    Co-funding of regional, national and international programmes.
  • MSCA and Citizens
    Bringing research and researchers closer to the public at large.

ORE4CITIZENS - Bringing offshore renewable energy to society

HE SUBPROGRAMME (Specific programme): Pillar 1. MSCA – HE-MSCA-Citizens

Type of action: HORIZON-CSA

 

UPV/EHU Partner Status: Beneficiary

UPV/EHU PI: PABLO GUIA LOPEZ

Brief description: 

ORE4Citizens will bring science and research closer to society focusing on the education system and society at large through Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) and STEAM to raise awareness and engagement on the contributions of research to the socio-economic development and the societal challenges and strategic priorities in the Basque Country and Europe.

The activities - of the Researchers’ Night and Researchers at Schools, supported by Awareness Campaigns and Impact Assessment- will take place in the Basque Country, with the following objectives: 1. Bridge the gap between ORE science and perception of citizens, students and pupils. 2. Increase social awareness, citizen commitment and acceptance of scientific activity in the area of Offshore Renewable Energies and their contribution to the EU missions. 3. Promote STEAM vocations among young people. In particular towards disciplines necessary for ORE, to contribute to the value chain of the Basque Country and Europe. 4. Create female references in science and promote the scientific careers of women and girls and attract talent. Showcasing real women that today have an important role in the scientific and technological development. 5. Show the value of scientific activities funded by the European Union and how they contribute to society, with special emphasis on the Green Deal. 6. Showcase the scientific and academic capabilities of the Basque Country in ORE (R&I and training) and its contribution at European scale.

KPIs and, means of verification and main numeric targets for ORE4Citizens objectives are set, as well as a number of results contributing in significant scale to the expected outcomes and impacts. A broad collaboration network of public institutions, private entities, research organisations and tertiary sector entities have signed their compromise to participate in the dissemination and development of the activities to maximise the impact while ensuring equal opportunities for the entire population.
