Project description
The future impact of Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) provide grants for all stages of researchers' careers – be they doctoral candidates or highly experienced researchers – and encourage transnational, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. As an EU programme financed by Horizon 2020, MSCA comprises the most prestigious scientific fellowships supporting the research in the European Research Area (ERA). The EU-funded MSCA2020.HR project will support the main goals of Croatia’s presidency conference titled 'MSCA 2020.HR: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Impact and Future Challenges', which will take place on 27-28 April 2020 in Zagreb. The conference’s goals are to show and strengthen the impact of MSCA, increase effective research, discuss balanced mobility of scientists and researchers, promote innovation exchange to maximise European research potential and develop skills that will be crucial for global challenges in the near future.
Objective
We propose the following goals of the Conference: firstly, to demonstrate the impact and importance of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions on researchers and, consequently, on strengthening of the European Research Area. MSCA Conference will provide a platform for in-depth discussions on the built and transformed landscape throughout the implementation of Horizon 2020 programme for young researchers. Following the path of the previous MSCA presidency Conferences within the Horizon 2020 framework programme, the Conference will contribute to a more effective research and mobility policy in ERA as well as demonstrate MSCA as a flagship EU programme for research mobility and training.
Secondly, the Conference will provide a platform for a discussion and examination of the impact of MSCA has on fair, balanced and effective brain circulation. Brain circulation, defined as a two-way flow of highly skilled people, provides the most necessary stimulus to knowledge and innovation exchange. However, divide between the more and less R&I intensive regions leads to research excellence being more and more clustered. One of the results of such clustering is the inability to fully recognize and exploit research and innovation potential of the ERA. A more thoughtful approach to migration of highly skilled workforce and researchers appears to be one of the most important elements contributing to national and European knowledge and innovation exchange, which could maximize European research impact, economic growth and a more competitive science.
Thirdly, by highlighting what has been done and what is envisioned for the future period, the Conference will reflect on connecting the needs of the ERA - and researchers in particular - the development of skills of researchers that are of an utmost importance when facing the future global challenges and the ambitious goals set by the current and future framework programmes.
