The MCAA Andean-Caribbean Chapter organizes the 3rd edition of MCAA Latam conference addressing science diplomacy, Latam collaboration, citizen science and other relevant scientific topics of the region.
The 2020s are considered a multipolar world, where multiple interests and values were raised, not only by emerging regional powers but also by the high globalisation and innovation of the century. Yet, Latin America (Latam) plays an important role in the next global challenges, being a source of solutions for food security, climate change, and biodiversity. Accordingly, a scientific collaboration must be supported in the region to bring better decisions to the world.
To communicate, disseminate, and discuss the challenges of such collaboration, the MCAA Andean-Caribbean Chapter is organising the 3rd edition of the MCAA Latam conference focusing on scientific cooperation in Latin America. Taking place on October 27th and 28th, 2023 (preceded by a MCAA Latam Board meeting on October 26th) and hosted at the Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, this conference will be a forum for discussion of research impact, citizen science, and science diplomacy in the Latam region led by representatives of different chapters and initiatives, along with poster presentations (remote or on-site) and a short story competition.
According to the organisers, the meeting will serve as a venue for MSCA current and former fellows attached to the Latam region to address regional interest, networking, collaboration, and promotion of MSCA and EU funding opportunities in the region. The conference targets not only MCSA members, but also university managers and practitioners associated with the MSCA Latam National Contact Points Network, Euraxess and Colombia Challenge Your Knowledge (CCYK) Network. Attendees will also enjoy career development sessions with talks/workshops on MSCA opportunities, research proposals and grant writing.
