On 13–14 July 2026, the LipidBRIGHT consortium gathered at the Lufthansa Seeheim Conference Hotel near Frankfurt Airport for the official kick-off meeting of our MSCA Doctoral Network. The hybrid event brought together partners from across Europe to launch a project set to run until 2030: uncovering how lipids act as a bridge between disease insight and improved therapy. A truly European network Representatives from all beneficiary institutions were present — Maastricht Univ

This year marks a very special milestone: 30 years since the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions were named after the amazing Polish-French scientist who discovered radioactivity and won two Nobel Prizes. Since its inception, the MSCA have supported more than 150,000 researchers at all stages of their careers, fostering international mobility, cross-sector collaboration and excellence in research across Europe and beyond. Our LipidBRIGHT project is part of this remarkable legacy

Marie Skłodowska Curie Doctoral Network LipidBRIGHT: EU promotes doctoral network on lipids research to improve disease insights and therapy options with 3 million euros The European Union recently approved the Marie Skłodowska Curie Doctoral Network LipidBRIGHT for funding. Within the LipidBRIGHT consortium, scientists throughout Europe will work intensively together to study lipid mediators in cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, chronic kidney disease and cancer.
