International Young Scholars Exchange Conference & 2nd Annual Conference of the MCAA China Chapter

1. Background

With the rapid development of science and technology and the deepening of globalization, the deep integration of scientific research and industry has become a key driving force for social progress and economic prosperity. As the backbone of innovation and development, high-level talents are the backbone of innovation and development. The China Chapter of Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) is composed of Chinese researchers funded by the EU's Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.

In this context , the MCAA China Chapter plans to organize the "International Young Scholars Exchange Conference & 2nd Annual Conference of the MCAA China Chapter". The conference focuses on promoting cooperation and exchanges between high-level scientific and technological Marie Curie researchers in China and Europe, and build a platform for high-end talent docking and in-depth communication for scientific research institutions and well-known enterprises, and help them make breakthrough progress in the introduction of high-level talents and the incubation of scientific and technological achievements for different researchers, especially for MCAA Chinese researchers.

This conference will also strongly promote the latest policies and practices of Horizon Europe, Marie Curie Action Plan and other EU programmes, so that more researchers will be able to apply for these programmes. The activity will also bring more people to know the Marie Curie actions, MCAA and MCAA China Chapter.
