Celebrating 30 years of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
Leipzig, 12.03.2026 – Gabriela Unfer
MCSA scholarship holder Gabriela Unfer on the programme and CLOUD-DOC
Being supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) during my PhD has been a truly rewarding experience. Through the CLOUD-DOC project (#101073026), I have the opportunity to work in an international, collaborative research environment, which has been incredibly enriching both scientifically and personally. The support from MSCA goes far beyond funding, creating opportunities for collaboration, mobility, and continuous learning, which makes my PhD a very unique journey. Knowing that my work is part of a programme with a 30-year legacy, supporting thousands of outstanding researchers across Europe and beyond, makes this experience even more meaningful.

The CLOUD-DOC Marie Curie Doctoral Training Network is a multi-site network of 12 Ph.D. students at 12 partner institutions across Europe. The network investigates various aspects of the interactions of cosmic rays with aerosols and clouds, which bears on the possibility of a "solar indirect" contribution to climate change. Besides the individual research of the Ph.D. students at their hosting institutions, the major focus of the network will be sets of common experiments on ion-induced nucleation and ion-aerosol interaction carried out at CERN. These experiments are conducted at an aerosol chamber that is exposed to a CERN elementary particle beam where the effects of cosmic rays on aerosol and cloud formation can be efficiently simulated.
