Who we are

 

The Middle East Chapter is part of the MCAA and a network hub to focus members' activities in the Middle Eastern countries- all countries in the Middle East apart from those with an autonomous chapter. The chapter aims to introduce MSCA opportunities to start and develop productive collaborations between academic and industrial institutions in the member countries and EU institutions. The chapter encourages local networking, motivation, and recruitment between Middle East fellows and MCAA/MSCA.

 

Objectives

 

  • Encourage local networking and establish a mutually beneficial relationship between MCAA and its alumni within the Middle East region
  • Initiate activities and events with added value to the alumni network
  • Increase, attract, support, and facilitate the connections between MSCA fellows and alumni
  • Interact and partner with external stakeholders within the Middle East region

 

Joining the chapter

The MSCA fellows from member countries are welcome to join the chapter. Membership is free and open to all MCAA members who have a connection to the Middle East region. Membership to the chapter provides access to the activities, information, and the right to participate in the election for the chapter chair. For the membership, just log onto the MCAA portal (https://www.mariecuriealumni.eu/groups/middle-east-chapter) and click on "join group".

Meet & Greet
The event is a great opportunity for Chapter members to get to know the chapter's board members, mission, planned events, and more importantly, each other and welcome the new members to the chapter. It is an opportunity for networking and benefitting from each other's experiences.

The board members would like to hear from you about what you expect from the chapter, what areas you need help with, and how can they help you further develop your careers. Being spread across several European and Arabic countries gives us a unique advantage that is available to chapter members and that can help them achieve the best they can. Also, they will be informed regarding the various resources that the board members can make available to them and the various opportunities that members have for growing and taking on responsibilities within the chapter.
