Marie Skłodowska-Curie 2016 Forum - Where Business and Research Talent Meet

About the Conference

The objective of this event is to discuss the role of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) in supporting researchers to develop their careers outside academia and in businesses in particular. In the morning, representatives of EU institutions, MSCA fellows, businesses and universities will discuss intersectoral mobility of researchers and contribute to strengthening the programme. The afternoon session will provide "Tips and Tricks" on MSCA and in particular on the new "Society and Entreprise" Individual Fellowships panel launched on the 12th of April 2016. The event will also feature an exhibition and networking area with businesses, researchers and universities organisations.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions: bridging business & research

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions support collaboration between businesses and research organisations and facilitate the mobility of researchers to the private sector. The participation of businesses to the MSCA is therefore critical to allow researchers to get acquainted with industry and business realities and contribute to the research as well as innovation potential and needs of their host-companies. Some sessions will be live-streamed.
