OpenInnoTrain Summer School offers an excellent opportunity for participants to develop skills for creating impact and to design their own research impact journey. Participants will learn how to identify and contextualize the impact of their research, engage with stakeholders, track impact outputs, and communicate real-world impact.

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.

The MCAA Andean-Caribbean Chapter, together with the rest of the MCAA Latam Chapters, is organizing this year's version of the MCAA LATAM CONFERENCE (3rd edition), taking place on October 27th and 28th, 2023 (preceded by a MCAA Latam Board meeting on October 26th afternoon), and hosted at Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar (MSCA NCP Coordinator) in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.

This conference will serve as a venue for MSCA current and former fellows attached to Latin America region (residents and/or citizens) to get together for communicating and disseminating their research while discussing matters of regional interest. It will be a forum for networking and collaboration, as well as for promoting MSCA and EU funding opportunities in the region.

This year's conference theme is Scientific Cooperation in Latin America, and the event will include different sessions around Scientific Cooperation for Regional Development and SDGs, Science Diplomacy and Citizen Science, among others, as well as talks/workshops on MSCA opportunities, research proposals and grant writing tips and tricks.

Main conference language will be Spanish.
