2021 EST.

The MCAA Research Management Working Group provides a forum for discussion, exchange of ideas and mutual support for both early-career and experienced research and project managers. Members share knowledge and good practices to make the day-to-day management of MSCA projects easier and improve the quality of project implementation.

Our short-term goals are to:

  • Support one another by sharing experiences and practical advice on recruitment, budgets, salaries, secondments, communication, dissemination, training, the Funding & Tenders Portal, deliverables, amendments, management tools and other relevant topics.
  • Promote joint activities, including communication and outreach initiatives, training courses and final events.
  • Build a lasting, shared knowledge base to preserve experience and support continuity when project managers change roles.

To join the group, please register through the MCAA webpage and also send us an email at [email protected].

2nd Conference of the Researcher Mental Health Observatory (ReMO 2023)
THEME: "Evidence-Based Interventions for Fostering Healthy Academic Workplaces"

The ReMO COST Action focuses on wellbeing and mental health within academia, a theme of strategic importance for the European Research Area and beyond. We would like to invite our fellow researchers and practitioners to critically think about reporting on Evidence-Based Interventions for Fostering Healthy Academic Workplaces. How can stakeholders in the research environment develop interventions tackling this challenge in a rapidly changing world? We therefore hope for an inspiring conference with presentations, workshops and keynotes that will not only showcase the newest findings about the cognitive, motivational, and emotional aspects of Researcher Mental Health and Well-being, but will also be a place to discuss the global challenges that shape the present and will define the future of our research workplaces.

The conference will be a hybrid conference within the context of the ReMO COST Action with free online participation and in-person attendance at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary.
