We are pleased to announce that the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences (IBCH PAS) has secured funding for the project “Preparation of the V-NERVE proposal for the MSCA DN call” under the European Funds for a Smart Economy Programme, specifically the “Grants for Eurogrants” measure. The project is led by Agnieszka Fiszer, PhD, DSc, Assoc. Prof.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks (MSCA DN) 2025 is an initiative under the Horizon Europe programme, aimed at improving the quality of doctoral education through international, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral doctoral programmes. The programme supports the mobility of early-career researchers, the development of research and soft skills, and collaboration between science and industry.

The funded project involved preparing an application for the ‘HORIZON-MSCA-2025-DN-01-01’ call for proposals. As a consortium partner, the IBCH PAS was responsible for co-developing the scientific and training components of the proposal, preparing the description of the host institution and supervisors, the training programme and the budget, as well as for liaising with international partners and verifying the documentation. The Institute also drew up research plans for two PhD students, covering methodology, international collaboration and skills development. Their implementation under the V-NERVE proposal is planned at two departments of the IBCH PAS – the Department of Medical Biotechnology, headed by Agnieszka Fiszer, PhD, DSc, Assoc. Prof., and the Department of Molecular Neurooncology, headed by Katarzyna Rolle, , PhD, DSc, Assoc. Prof.

The aim of the project is to increase the internationalisation and visibility of the IBCH PAS through participation in the MSCA DN 2025 consortium and the submission of a proposal under the Horizon Europe framework programme. The MSCA DN proposal received a very high rating from the experts, confirming its high scientific quality and research potential.  Ultimately, it did not receive funding due to the limited budget available under the call.

The total value is 39,601.00 PLN, with co-financing from European Funds amounting to 39,601.00 PLN. Implementation period: 2025–2026.

The project is co-financed by the European Union under the European Funds for a Smart Economy programme.
