The Lindau Meetings bring together Nobel Laureates and young researchers to foster scientific exchange between generations. In 2024, the Meeting will be dedicated to Physics and will take place from 30 June to 5 July. The European Commission is offering a limited number of MSCA fellows the unique opportunity to participate in the event and exchange experiences with Nobel Laureates.

This annual science fair interactively showcases Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) research projects and innovations through hands-on experiments, science shows, games and fun, inspiring activities. We are calling on you, MSCA fellows and alumni, to present your research projects to approximately 5 000 young visitors over two days. The 2024 edition will take place in-person in Brussels on 25 and 26 April 2024.

The Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) is organising its annual conference and general assembly from 14 to 16 March 2024, in Milan, Italy.

MSCA Doctoral Networks provide support partnerships of organisations from different socio-economic sectors across Europe to implement doctoral programmes. This call will fund over 130 projects in all scientific fields and the training and skills development of 1600 doctoral candidates. The call will close on 28 November 2023.

The MSCA and Citizens call aims to bring research and researchers closer to the public at large, through various initiatives. Among them, the European Researchers’ Night is the largest research communication and promotion event taking place across EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries, while the Researchers at Schools initiative aims to strengthen the connection between research and education by bringing researchers to schools to encourage interaction with pupils at all levels of primary and secondary education.

The European Innovation Council (EIC) and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) have launched a new call for applications for the European prize for women innovators. MSCA fellows and alumnae are eligible to apply. The prize celebrates the women entrepreneurs behind Europe’s most groundbreaking innovations. It rewards women from across the EU and countries associated to Horizon Europe, whose disruptive innovations are driving positive change for people and the planet.

The European Commission has published a new call to develop a suitable structure for a fellowship scheme for researchers at risk that would address the currently fragmented and limited support at EU level. Within the scope of the action, around 30 fellowships will be awarded for researchers at risk.

We are calling on you, MSCA fellows, to present your research projects to approximately 5 000 young visitors at the Science is Wonderful!
