Project description
A closer look at MSCA, past and present
The year 2021 is one of several important dates. It marks the launch of Horizon Europe and the organisation of the first Conference of the Future of Europe, as well as the 25th anniversary of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) funding programme for training, mobility and career development of researchers. The MSCA-funded MSCA2022 project is organising the MSCA 2022 Presidency Conference on behalf of the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation and the Université Paris Sciences & Lettres. The conference will explore how the MSCA is helping to advance research and innovation in the EU. It will also consider the critical societal challenges that need to be addressed in the coming years in order to ensure the MSCA’s next 25 years.
Objective
"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."
