The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) fellowship provides researchers with invaluable international experience, skill development, and global networking. However, one of the key challenges many fellows face is the reintegration into their home countries post-fellowship. This webinar explores the multifaceted reintegration process and offers insights on how MSCA fellows can effectively transition back into their home institutions, research environments, and communities. Through presentations, real-world examples from speakers, and interactive discussions, the session will focus on the various issues of reintegration, including cultural adjustments, research continuity, and leveraging acquired skills. Attendees will gain practical strategies to overcome these challenges, including identifying career opportunities, enhancing professional networks, and fostering collaborations that capitalize on their international experiences.
