The MCAA and UKRI join forces to support the professional development of UKRI Guarantee Fellows
The Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) is pleased to announce a new collaboration with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to support the professional development of UKRI Guarantee Fellows through a dedicated programme.
The upcoming professional development programme aims to offer researchers funded by UKRI through the Horizon Europe Guarantee scheme networking opportunities, educational resources, and financial assistance to foster their professional growth and advance their careers.
In addition to connecting with the over 24,000 members of the MCAA across the globe, eligible UKRI Guarantee Fellows will gain access to a range of benefits that will help them build connections, share experiences, enhance skills, and explore future career pathways.
This initiative reflects the MCAA and UKRI’s shared commitment to support the professional development of researchers at all career stages and across diverse research fields.
UKRI will contact eligible Guarantee Fellows directly with further information about the programme and the next steps.
