Recent cases of abduction, gang rapes
Recent cases of abduction, gang rapes and later murders of innocent teen-agers and protests leading to loot and arson all seem well-planned by anti-national elements, most probably financed by foreign agents through their NGOs and social networking and disgruntled opposition leaders to raise anti-PM and anti-BJP feelings among Indian populace. They also aim to divide the masses on caste, communal, rich and poor or any other possible basis. They aim first to create riots and then blame the government for administrative failure if action is not taken. However, if action is taken, the blame will be of high-handedness and even Human Rights Group will step in. But while unruly goons create havoc, they will keep mum. In such a situation, all patriotic people should see through the game, stand united behind the Hon’ble PM and NDA government, not to fall in traps being laid down to create chaos, not to believe the rumours being spread. They should rather thwart all bad measures and cheap gimmicks of such leaders who pass judgments on any happening without authentication. The government should also take strict action against all those who give vent to their judgments in any happening without any proof. It has become a fashion to indulge in blame game and tarnish the image of adversary. If sued, they are ready to speak apology to escape, of course after doing the desired damage.

First find the right call on the participant portal
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) provide grants for all stages of researchers’ careers – be they doctoral candidates or highly experienced researchers – and encourage transnational, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. The MSCA enable research-focused organisations (universities, research centers, and companies) to host talented foreign researchers and to create strategic partnerships with leading institutions worldwide.
The MSCA aim to equip researchers with the necessary skills and international experience for a successful career, either in the public or the private sector. The programme responds to the challenges sometimes faced by researchers, offering them attractive working conditions and the opportunity to move between academic and other settings.
The MSCA are open to all domains of research and innovation, from fundamental research to market take-up and innovation services. Research and innovation fields are chosen freely by the applicants (individuals and/or organisations) in a fully ‘bottom-up’ manner.

The MSCA are open to all domains of research and innovation, from fundamental research to market take-up and innovation services. Research and innovation fields are chosen freely by the applicants (individuals and/or organisations) in a fully ‘bottom-up’ manner.
Types of MSCA:
Research networks (ITN): support for Innovative Training Networks
ITNs support competitively selected joint research training and/or doctoral programmes, implemented by European partnerships of universities, research institutions, and non-academic organisations.
The research training programmes provide experience outside academia, hence developing innovation and employability skills. ITNs include industrial doctorates, in which non-academic organisations have an equal role to universities in respect of the researcher’s time and supervision, and joint doctoral degrees delivered by several universities. Furthermore, non-European organisations can participate as additional partners in ITNs, enabling doctoral-level candidates to gain experience outside Europe during their training.

Individual fellowships (IF): support for experienced researchers undertaking mobility between countries, optionally to the non-academic sector
Individual Fellowships support the mobility of researchers within and beyond Europe – as well as helping to attract the best foreign researchers to work in the EU. The grant usually covers two years’ salary, a mobility allowance, research costs and overheads for the host institution. Individual researchers submit proposals for funding in liaison with their planned host organisation. Proposals are judged on their research quality, the researcher’s future career prospects, and the support offered by the host organisation. Fellows can also spend part of the fellowship elsewhere in Europe if this would boost impact, and those restarting their career in Europe benefit from special eligibility conditions.
International and inter-sectoral cooperation through the Research and Innovation Staff Exchanges (RISE)
RISE supports short-term mobility of research and innovation staff at all career levels, from the most junior (post-graduate) to the most senior (management), including also administrative and technical staff. It is open to partnerships of universities, research institutions, and non-academic organisations both within and beyond Europe. In worldwide partnerships, academia-to-academia exchanges are permitted.
Co-funding of regional, national and international programmes that finance fellowships involving mobility to or from another country
The MSCA offer additional funding to regional, national and international programmes for research training and career development. COFUND programmes encourage the movement of researchers across borders and provide good working conditions. The scheme can support doctoral and fellowship programmes.
The European Researchers’ Night (NIGHT)
It is a Europe-wide public event to stimulate interest in research careers, especially among young people. The activities are focused on the general public and might take various forms such as hands-on experiments, science shows, debates, competitions or quizzes.
