Happy 156th Birthday to Marie Skłodowska-Curie! 🎂 On 7 November, we celebrate the 156th birthday anniversary of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, a scientific luminary whose contributions forever altered the course of #science. To this day, she remains the only female scientist to have been awarded a #NobelPrize in two different scientific fields: #Chemistry (1903) and #Physics (1911). Her legacy lives on in the work and passion of scientists from all over the world, including the more than 145,000 researchers who have received #EUfunding under the #MarieSkłodowskaCurieActions (MSCA) programme. 18 Nobel Prize-winning laureates are among the fellows, coordinators and supervisors of the programme! Read more: 👉 europa.eu/!Ccvfj8 Under #HorizonEU, the #MSCA programme helps build Europe’s capacity for research and innovation by investing in the long-term careers of excellent researchers. The programme's main principles are: 🔵 Excellence: it supports researchers to foster excellence in #ResearchAndInnovation collaborations, knowledge transfer, methodologies and content, as well as in training, supervision and career guidance. 🔵 Research: it is open to all domains of research and innovation and encourages #InternationalCooperation to set-up strategic collaborations. 🔵 Mobility: it supports researchers' mobility between countries, sectors and disciplines to acquire new #knowledge and #skills. Interested to apply for funding and join the MSCA family? 👉 europa.eu/!wc9DFm

The results of these latest grants from the ERC clearly illustrate that the programme is less accessible to applicants from countries with lower R&I intenstiy levels. Its is demonstrably evident that the current funding distribution is highly skewed towards more advanced Member States and a revision is necessary to promote inclusivity and excellence across all countries. The EU's next framework programme should introduce specific schemes for Widening countries, ensuring that researchers can participate fully and also benefit from this prestigious programme.

🎆 Happy birthday Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSF 🎆 Celebrating with dedicated featured articles in Framtidens Forskning Similar to personal independence, academic independence is contingent on the availability of means of support that allow you to leave the nest and follow your ambitions. With the research grants bestowed for my Ph.D within the SwedNess Research School first and for my postdoc in view of future European Spallation Source ERIC utilization after, SSF has laid the foundation for my entire career as a large-scale facility expert, allowing me to explore a variety of research topics, create new opportunities for the use of neutron-based experimental methods, and build bridges across disciplines. Thanks to SSF I could embark on an exciting new chapter, shifting from solid state condensed matter physics to soft condensed matter for climate change mitigation applications. Characterizing this type of materials presents challenges due to their complex, hierarchical structures, dynamic behavior, and lack of long-range order compared to crystalline solids. Investigation techniques must be capable of resolving multiple length scales, capturing temporal changes, and probing disordered structures effectively. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-disciplinary approach integrating advanced imaging, spectroscopy, scattering methods, and computational modeling, all of which is part of the project I am carrying out between the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry (MMK) at Stockholm University and the PSI Paul Scherrer Institut. What the future holds is not for me to know, but I certainly embrace and enjoy the remarkable journey I am on today. #ResearchGrant #SoftMatter #NeutronScience #ESS #AcademicJourney #Nanocellulose
