IANUS is a Horizon Europe project dedicated to strengthening the impact of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), the EU’s flagship programme for doctoral and postdoctoral training.
MSCA is part of the EU’s framework programme for research and innovation Horizon Europe, the world’s largest of its kind with a funding volume of 95.5 billion euros for 2021-2027. By analysing past and ongoing MSCA projects, IANUS identifies untapped opportunities in researcher support, intersectoral collaboration, and contribution to the EU Missions tackling the challenges Cancer and Smart Cities.
Through advanced data analysis, real-world case studies, and inclusive stakeholder engagement, the project will develop concrete policy recommendations to enhance MSCA’s long-term strategic value — empowering researchers and increasing the societal impact of European science.
