Project description
Bridging the gap between science and policy
The MSCA-funded DiReCT-GC project aims to strengthen the connection between scientific research and effective policymaking. Organised by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MCIN), the MSCA conference will take place in Toledo in November 2023. This event is set to shine a spotlight on the contributions of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme to addressing global challenges from a local and global perspective. The conference will delve into the future of diverse and inclusive research careers, emphasising their role in supporting evidence-based policy decisions. Interactive debates will provide valuable insights to shape the upcoming 2025-2027 Work Programme.
Objective
The project MSCA DiReCT-GC (DIverse REsearch Careers to Tackle Global Challenges) aims at organizing the MSCA conference with the overarching objective of fostering the connection between science and policy making to better address societal challenges. The event, organised by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MCIN) will be held November 14th and 15th 2023 in the city of Toledo, in the University of Castilla-La-Mancha (UCLM) premises.
With the aim of raising the visibility of MSCA and establishing a link with the policy agenda, the conference will address ongoing initiatives in the realm of science for policy, the contributions of MSCA to societal challenges from a global perspective to a local impact, and the future of diverse and inclusive research careers, including professional paths to support evidence-based policy making. The event will also offer enough space for interactive debates on the MSCA main features with the aim of contributing to the upcoming 2025-2027 Work Programme. Finally, a recognition of the MSCA best projects in terms of science for policy contributions will be present in the MSCA Awards Ceremony.
