Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA), Individual Fellowship – European Commission

	Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA), Individual Fellowship – European Commission The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) provide grants for all stages of researchers' careers and encourage transnational, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. The MSCA enable research-focused organisations (universities, research centres, and companies) to host talented foreign researchers and to create strategic partnerships with leading institutions worldwide. 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.

	The Marie Curie Fellowship (E 195.000) has been awarded to my project nr. 657240-ICONOPHILIA (MSCA-IF) "Religion, Politics and the Arts in Early Medieval Italy Against the Background of the ‘Image Struggle’ (680-850)". The evaluation report states: "Strengths: - Innovative aspects of the research program are focused on analysing the modalities in which theological ideas and artistic developments of the Byzantine "image struggle" impacted on western religious mentality. - The project is original concerning the relation between text and image and the possible transmission of information. - A detailed introduction is presented that states clearly the specific features of the project. - The proposal is of very good quality and the state of the art, research objectives and overview of the action are precisely described. - There is potential for innovation in the methodological approach, which involves an interdisciplinary and comparative approach to cultural history.- There is very good potential for the transfer of knowledge through research training from the host organisations during the fellowship. The researcher will gain new skills in philology historical studies, communication and management skills and by participating in international collaborative research program. - The proposal clearly describes the training objectives and how the host institution is committed to enhancing the researcher's competence. - The match between researcher's profile and the proposed project is excellent, and the researcher' s skills and experience are very suitable for the project proposed.- The hosting arrangements for the implementation and management of the research project are clearly described. - The scientific profile of the Experienced Researcher and their capacity to reach an internationally recognized position in the academic field is well proven. - The activities of the applicant that demonstrate leadership qualities and project management skills are clearly detailed in the proposal. - The shift from art history to art and religious history gives evidence of an independent thinking and capacity to foster original ideas."The project will be undertaken at the Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies in the University of Birmingham, under the guidance of Prof. Leslie Brubaker, a leading Byzantinist.
