MSCA fellows to OsloMet
Three researchers at OsloMet have been awarded a research fellow through the EU's prestigious mobility programme Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (MSCA). Two more researchers are on the waiting list.
Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) (ec.europa.eu) is a sub-programme under the Excellence Science section of the EU program Horizon Europe which finances researchers’ international mobility.
Researchers can apply for a grant for a 2 year stay at a foreign institution that has a research environment at a high level that is relevant to their own research and can thus contribute to a career boost.
Three researchers at OsloMet have now got their proposals granted, and can welcome a research fellow to help carry out their project:
- Faculty of Health Sciences: Professor Åse Røthing (oslomet.no) will welcome Rosa Martínez Cuadros. Proposal title: “Health, European Muslims and Gender: Medical Authority and Assisted Reproductive Technologies in Sunni”
- Faculty of Social Sciences: Professor Rune Halvorsen (oslomet.no) will welcome Marijke Roosen. Proposal title: “Justice in Surveillance Systems”
- Faculty of Technology, Art and Design: Professor Vagelis Plevris (oslomet.no) will welcome Afaq Ahmad. Proposal title: “Forensic Analysis of Concrete Through Image Processing”
OsloMet has two other proposals high up on the reserve list. Both Svenn-Erik Mamelund (oslomet.no) at PANSOC, Centre for Research on Pandemics & Society and Sølvi Mausethagen (oslomet.no) at Centre for the Study of Professions still have good probability of being funded later depending on the budget availability.
Threading the needle
Pro-rector for R&D at OsloMet, Tanja Storsul, is impressed by this year's results.
"Congratulations to our candidates who have won through with their proposals based on very solid research!"
"This scholarship is highly valued, and it is great that OsloMet have such great results this year. It shows that our researchers' work is relevant far beyond our national borders", says Tanja Storsul.
"International cooperation is important to drive research, knowledge development and the world further." she says.
