We are pleased to invite you to join the 1st MCAA Policy Forum on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at the European Parliament.

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.
