Objective
The MSCA 2017 Conference will take place in Malta on 11th and 12th May 2017 under the auspices of the Maltese EU Presidency to the Council of the EU. The event will focus on ‘Enhancing R&I capacity through researchers’ mobility’ and will be organised by the Malta Council for Science and Technology of the Ministry for Education and Employment, with the
collaboration of the University of Malta.
The overall objective of the conference is to discuss and reflect on the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions with a special focus on ‘Enhancing R&I capacity through researchers’ mobility’. The objectives of the event will be reached by sharing of good practices and encouraging a debate on past and ongoing experiences. Experienced and early stage researchers, academics from various universities, European Commission officials, proposal evaluators, representatives of National Contact Points and Programme Committee Meetings will have the possibility to share good practices, views and opinions. The input from the participants will be then elaborated into a conference report.
The event will also look into other current and future aspects of the MSCA programme such as ‘Widening Participation’, in terms of encouraging organizations and researchers from the EU 13 to increase their participation in the MSCA. The role of policy makers, research institutions, non-academia sector, and National Contacts Points in this regard will be addressed.
Furthermore, the conference will also highlight current and future societal challenges in order to prepare researchers for an attractive career and knowledge-exchange opportunities. The interaction between academia and industry sectors, skills, mobility, and gender issues will be among the key elements.
A total of 150-200 participants are foreseen.
