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.

2D Materials and Devices beyond Graphene Science

Specific programme: Air Force Office of Scientific Research
UPV/EHU Partner Status:  Consortium Partner
UPV/EHU PI: Angel Rubio
Project start: 19/02/2015

Brief description:  Owing to the remarkable success of graphene research, the possibility of engineering two dimensional atomic layers composed of a broader class of materials has emerged as a highly compelling research direction. The excellent potential of these materials has been highlighted in several recent advances. The ability to quantum engineer electronic states in the single-atomic layer limit is expected to lead to novel physics, device concepts and integration. The availability of stable atomic layers with various compositions and electronic structure enables one to stack these layers and produce new van der Waals structures with unexplored properties. This project integrates an inter-disciplinary research effort with a team of materials scientists, physicists and device engineers to build the fundamental knowledge base in the area of two-dimensional atomic layers and develop the foundation for a next generation of all-2D electronic and optoelectronic systems. Strong collaborations with the various US Department of Defense laboratories form an integral part of the project.
