The MSCA 2017 Conference will take place in Malta on 11 and 12 May 2017 under the auspices of the Maltese Presidency of the EU. The event will be organised by the Malta Council for Science and Technology within the Ministry for Education and Employment, with the kind cooperation of the European Commission.
The overall objective of the conference is to discuss and reflect on the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions with a special focus on ‘Mobility Takes Research Further’. The objectives of the event will be reached by sharing good practices and encouraging a debate on past and ongoing experiences. Experienced and early stage researchers, academics from various universities, European Commission officials, proposal evaluators, representatives of National Contact Points and Programme Committee Meetings of Horizon 2020, will have the possibility to share their views and opinions. The input from the participants will be then elaborated into a conference report.
Full details are available on the Conference website.
