Join us for the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) Annual Conference and General Assembly on March 21–22, 2025, in Krakow, Poland!

This flagship event gathers hundreds of participants from various fields, including research, science policy, and industry, to discuss key topics in the research and innovation sector.

We invite you to participate in the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) Annual Conference and General Assembly!

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) fellowship provides researchers with invaluable international experience, skill development, and global networking. However, one of the key challenges many fellows face is the reintegration into their home countries post-fellowship. This webinar explores the multifaceted reintegration process and offers insights on how MSCA fellows can effectively transition back into their home institutions, research environments, and communities. Through presentations, real-world examples from speakers, and interactive discussions, the session will focus on the various issues of reintegration, including cultural adjustments, research continuity, and leveraging acquired skills. Attendees will gain practical strategies to overcome these challenges, including identifying career opportunities, enhancing professional networks, and fostering collaborations that capitalize on their international experiences.

In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, you’re invited to a vibrant virtual panel discussion organized by MCAA GEDI WG as part of the MEDNIGHT project and in collaboration with the MCAA Spain-Portugal Chapter.

We’ll be showcasing the Ask a Scientist initiative, where children pose their burning questions to inspiring women in STEM. Hear from a lineup of brilliant speakers who will share their journeys, research, and advice on how to spark curiosity, drive innovation, and champion gender equality in science. The session will include short presentations followed by a Q&A forum.
