Fellows at the forefront of science • 30 scientists supported by the FP7 MCA were involved in the 2012 discovery of the Higgs Boson at CERN. • The 2016 discovery of gravitational waves brought a new way to observe some of the darkest events in our universe. An FP7 MCA project contributed to the breakthrough with 14 early-stage researchers, coordinated by the European Gravitational Observatory. • Several Nobel Prize winners were previously former MSCA fellows or scientists in charge
Nobel prize winners in MSCA "By bringing together all these experts from academia and industry in teams that look into this problem from different angles, we probably can come with original new solution“ Ben Feringa, 2016 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry "MCA postdoctoral Individual Fellowship was a critical moment in my career“ Stefan Hell, 2014 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry
