Title: Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions: building your career in Europe (but not only)
Abstract : This session focuses on Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, a funding scheme from the European Commission to support research and innovation. After a general presentation of the actions and the conditions, we will focus mostly on the actions available for young researchers, after completing their PhD. We will then dig into the application package, analyzing what an applicant needs to stress in their proposal, as well as potential traps to avoid.
