Events

Join the MCAA Ireland Chapter for a networking and peer-support event taking place on the fringes of the MSCA Presidential Conference in Dublin.

The event will feature a peer-support workshop bringing together early-career researchers and experienced members of the Irish research community. Participants will also learn about the MCAA and its activities, explore funding opportunities in Ireland, and hear first-hand experiences from researchers who have successfully transitioned beyond their MSCA fellowships. The programme will include contributions from MCAA leadership and Chapter representatives, followed by a Q&A session.

Join researchers, innovators, and science diplomacy leaders in Tokyo (or stream live worldwide) on November 4–5, 2026.

This summer, more than 220 researchers submitted their work to Europe AI Summer Research, EuroTech Federation’s pan-European programme for early-career AI research. More than 70 reviewers from universities and labs across Europe read every paper and wrote over 150 detailed reviews. Five finalists were selected.

​On Friday 30 October, each finalist has three minutes and one poster to present their research, followed by five minutes of questions from a technical jury. Then we announce the winners and spend the evening together over food and drinks.
