Welcome to the MCAA Andean-Caribbean Chapter!
The Andean-Caribbean Chapter is part of the MCAA and encourages local networking, recruits and attracts new members to the Association, and generally enhances the image of the MCAA within Andean-Caribbean and its sub-region. All MCAA members residing in the chapter’s geographical area can become a member of the chapter. Membership to a Chapter is free!
The chapter will host members from South America not represented in existing chapters (initially considering members from Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and other Caribbean countries without excluding interested members from other Central and South American countries not represented in existing chapters).
MCAA Andean-Caribbean Chapter Geographical Scope
In order to promote MSCA itself and its fellows’ network in the Andean-Caribbean region, we aim at:
- Strengthening networking and promoting collaboration among current and former MSCA fellows linked to the Andean/Caribbean region.
- Promoting communication and dissemination of knowledge and research outputs.
- Defining pathways to involve different public and private HEIs with the objective of attracting international research funds into Andean/Caribbean universities.
- Defining a communication plan which includes events and periodical newsletters to highlight professional and research opportunities of beneficiaries returning home.
- Advising new MSCA fellows for settling down culturally and administratively at their host countries.
- Establishing mechanisms to help and advice beneficiaries that had a stay abroad to re-incorporate in the Andean/Caribbean countries social security system (e.g., how to more effectively move pension payments made abroad to the Andean/Caribbean countries systems).
Supporting and guiding current and former MSCA fellows linked to the region in further topics such as the effective validation of academic titles obtained abroad.
