Marie Curie Researchers × Imperial College London is a hybrid academic exchange bringing together Marie Skłodowska-Curie researchers, Imperial College London scholars, and early-career researchers from across Europe and beyond. Hosted by the Marie Curie Scholars Chinese Association with support from Imperial College London, MCAA UK Chapter, MCAA AI Chapter, and WASTI, the event fosters open dialogue across science, engineering, medicine, sustainability, and human-centred design. Through informal discussions, cross-disciplinary exchange, and campus engagement, the event aims to inspire collaboration, connect global research communities, and explore how innovation can address complex societal challenges.

THEME: "Evidence-Based Interventions for Fostering Healthy Academic Workplaces"

The ReMO COST Action focuses on wellbeing and mental health within academia, a theme of strategic importance for the European Research Area and beyond. We would like to invite our fellow researchers and practitioners to critically think about reporting on Evidence-Based Interventions for Fostering Healthy Academic Workplaces. How can stakeholders in the research environment develop interventions tackling this challenge in a rapidly changing world? We therefore hope for an inspiring conference with presentations, workshops and keynotes that will not only showcase the newest findings about the cognitive, motivational, and emotional aspects of Researcher Mental Health and Well-being, but will also be a place to discuss the global challenges that shape the present and will define the future of our research workplaces.

The conference will be a hybrid conference within the context of the ReMO COST Action with free online participation and in-person attendance at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary.
