Call for researchers to get involved in Science is Wonderful!
The see the following message from MCAA team.
Dear Chairs,
There is a great initiative from the MSCA that may interest many of you and your members, please see below the MSCA message:
Today, we are reaching out to you with exciting new ways to communicate your research to pupils and teachers across Europe.
First, we are happy to announce that Science is Wonderful! is back and ready to connect your research to schools near and far. There are two ways to participate:
(a) You can register for our online competition until 1 December: https://www.
This competition will give you a chance to get to know a primary or secondary school teacher eager to turn your research into an interactive learning resource for their pupils. Match with a teacher, develop a project proposal together, submit it to DG EAC and get famous! The best proposals will be professionally developed and promoted by the European Commission. Plus there are other small prizes in store, so make sure to register today but no later than 1 December.
(b) You can apply to showcase your research at the science fair in March 2023: https://ec.europa.eu/
On 16-17 March 2023, the European Commission will invite MSCA researchers and alumni to come to Brussels once more and present their research through fun, interactive experiments, games or quizzes to pupils from Brussels and its surroundings. We are expecting up to 5 000 young curious mind, so do not miss out on this opportunity to meet the next generation and share your passion for science with them. The European Commission will cover all travel and accommodation costs for you and a colleague. So make sure to submit your proposal before 1 December.
Additionally, we encourage you to get involved in the newly launched initiative Researchers at Schools. Linked to the European Researchers’ Night, these projects bring the wonders of science directly to schools – and pupils to the labs! This initiative will allow 2 400 primary and secondary schools and 225 000 pupils in several countries to discover researchers’ work through presentations, hands-on experiments, visits to labs, games, discussions and role-playing. Would you like to take part? Then check out the list of projects taking place all over Europe and get in touch with the organisers.
We hope that you will take part and strengthen the bonds between research and education.
Should you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to get in touch through EAC-MSCA-SIW@ec.
Kind Regards,
The MSCA Team
