 **Fostering International, Interdisciplinary, and Intersectoral Research Partnerships for Mutual and Societal Impact (InterACT)**

InterACT is a **MSCA postdoctoral programme** COFUNDed by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Horizon Europe).

InterACT will **run from 1st of September 2026 to 31st of August 2031** and will recruit **14 international postdoctoral researchers** through two open calls. Selected researchers will be employed **36 months at the VUB** to carry out their projects, take part in training activities, collaborate with intersectoral and international experts, and showcase the implications of their results for EU, national, and regional policies.

InterACT welcomes applications from **all fields of science**. The research should focus on **societal impact** and **engagement of stakeholders** in the R&I activities.

Are you a postdoctoral researcher looking for funding? Our **first call** will open in **September 2026**!
