MCAA Awards - Celebrating Excellence in the MCAA Community
Every year, the Marie Curie Alumni Association celebrates its members, Chapters, and Working Groups for their achievements and dedication to the community through the MCAA Awards. The Awards are presented across several categories, each spotlighting a unique aspect of excellence:
The MCAA Career Award recognises a member with exceptional career achievements, including outstanding work or research experience, or a lasting impact on society or the community.
The MCAA Best Innovator Award rewards a member who has presented excellence in innovative approaches related to research, or in the development of new services, products or methodologies.
The MCAA Social Impact Award recognises a member whose work has had a significant social impact, resulting in tangible benefits or solutions to societal challenges.
The MCAA Outstanding Contributor Award rewards a member who has made significant contributions to the MCAA community through engagement, commitment, and representation activities.
The MCAA Chapter Awards (European and non-European) and the MCAA Working Group Award recognise the outstanding contributions of Chapters and Working Groups. These awards celebrate efforts that support and strengthen our network through initiatives, collaborations, and activities that have had a positive impact across our global community.
