Russian invasion of Ukraine

This weekend marked 500 days since the start of Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, said President Metsola. Parliament has stood with Ukraine and its people from the start, leading the call for Ukraine to be granted EU candidate status and pushing forward political momentum for humanitarian, military and financial support, she added. The Parliament procured generators to provide heating and light to Ukrainians when it was needed. The legislation and agreements reached with Council on joint procurement and defence, and the act in support of ammunition production (ASAP) will make a real difference, the President said.

Detention of Wall Street Journal reporter

It is 100 days since Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was illegally detained by Russia, said President Metsola, reiterating Parliament’s solidarity, support and determination to see him freed immediately.

Daphne Caruana Galizia

Journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered 300 weeks ago, and the Parliament continues to call for justice to be served, noted the President. Being a journalist takes courage, but Parliament is committed to ensuring the right legislation is in place, so that people are not forced to be brave to do it, she concluded.

Violent disruption of Tbilisi Pride

On Saturday Tbilisi Pride was violently disrupted; anti-LGBTIQ rhetoric, disinformation and violence are unacceptable, said the President, adding that the lives and safety of the LGBTIQ community must be a priority – people deserve to live their lives free from fear.

Request by several committees to start negotiations with Council and Commission

Decisions by committees to enter into inter-institutional negotiations (Rule 71) are published on the plenary website.

If no request for a vote in Parliament on the decision to enter into negotiations is made by Tuesday 12.00 midnight, the committees may start negotiations.

Information concerning the distribution of votes is available under the section “Priority information”.

The European Commission has announced the results of the 2024 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks call.

The Commission will fund a total of 149 excellent doctoral programmes with €608.6 million to train over 1800 doctoral candidates in and outside academia.

€536.9 million will be awarded to 133 standard Doctoral programmes, to train PhD candidates and develop their skills.

Funding includes also €26 million for 8 Industrial Doctoral programmes to train PhD candidates and develop their skills outside academia, including in industry and business. Doctoral candidates will also benefit from joint industry-academia supervision.

An additional €33 million will be allocated to 8 Joint Doctoral programmes, which promote joint selection, training and supervision leading to joint or multiple doctoral degrees.

The European Research Executive Agency (REA) received 1,417 applications for this call. This means a success rate of 10.6 %.

Close collaboration beyond academia

These doctoral programmes are implemented by international partnerships, involving 9335 organisations in 130 countries in the EU, Horizon Europe associated countries and beyond. 4725 of these are private for-profit entities.

Selected projects are coordinated by organisations in 18 countries.
