Next generation MSCA: opening a new era for change

Descripción del proyecto

Un análisis más detallado de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, pasado y presente

El año 2021 fue importante, ya que supuso el inicio de Horizonte Europa y la organización de la primera Conferencia sobre el Futuro de Europa, además del vigesimoquinto aniversario del programa de financiación de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA, por sus siglas en inglés) para la formación, la movilidad y el promoción profesional de investigadores. El proyecto MSCA2022 organiza la Conferencia de la Presidencia de las MSCA 2022, en nombre del Ministerio francés de Enseñanza Superior, Investigación e Innovación y la Université Paris Sciences & Lettres. En la conferencia se estudiará cómo las MSCA contribuyen al avance de la investigación y la innovación en la Unión Europea. También se analizarán los retos sociales críticos que habrá que afrontar en los próximos años para garantizar los siguientes veinticinco años de las MSCA.

Objetivo

"France will take over the rotating EU Council Presidency in the first half of 2022. On behalf of the French Ministry for Higher Education, Research, and Innovation, Universit Paris Sciences et Lettres PSL, will organize the 2022 Marie-Skodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Presidency Conference.
In the spirit of previous conferences, this conference will highlight the achievements and future of the MSCA programme, the European Unions flagship funding programme for training, mobility and career development of researchers.
2022 is a crucial year for the future of higher education and research in Europe : it marks the launch of Horizon Europe and the organization of the first Conference of the Future of Europe. It is also 25 years since the MSCA programme was launched.
Over 25 years, Marie Skodowska-Curie Actions fostered excellence in research by bringing together a European community of researchers and supporting their careers at all stages. Moreover, far from being disconnected from society, the MSCA programme has also been a driver of change by supporting, for instance, closer links between science and citizens as well as advancing careers for female researchers.
How has MSCA helped advance research and innovation in Europe for the past 25 years? What are the key societal challenges that the MSCA programme should help further address for its next 25 years?
Based on these questions, this 2022 MSCA conference will be entitled ""Next generation MSCA: opening a new era for change. The conference will be an opportunity to take stock on the transformational achievements of the MSCA programme and reflect upon what a future-proof and inclusive MSCA would be.
Mostly organized at the Institut Curie, the idea is to offer a hybrid event, accessible both in person and remotely."
