Belgium | Three cutting-edge collaborative projects have been selected for funding under the highly competitive European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks program. Out of 1,616 international proposals submitted globally, only 141 were chosen—marking a selective 9.6 percent success rate and securing dedicated funding for six new doctoral theses across chemistry, ecology, and physics.Running through December 2031, these five-year initiatives target distinct scientific frontiers. The first project explores neuro-intestinal chemistry to decrypt how bacterial surface sugars link the gut microbiome to brain inflammation. The second project focuses on ecosystem resilience, modeling how diverse species behaviors buffer natural habitats against climate change and pollution to improve conservation policies. The final project investigates ultra-fast photonics, merging nano-structured metamaterials with structured light to develop reconfigurable circuits capable of handling next-generation data speeds for artificial intelligence.
