Save the Date! 14 Nov., 6-8pm CEST, Amsterdam UMC for a Science Diplomacy (Career Development) Workshop!

The in-person meeting will introduce the Marie Curie Alumni Association Chapters in the United States of America and Canada and connect its members, highlight EU MSCA and ERC opportunities for early-career scholars in Chicago, and promote ongoing scientific collaboration between Europe and North America.

On 28 June, we will gather in Basel’s Kannenfeldpark for an informal BBQ — a relaxed opportunity for MCAA Switzerland members to meet, connect, and get to know one another better.

On 30 March, members of the MCAA Swiss Chapter met informally to get to know one another and to begin strengthening the sense of community within our chapter. It was a valuable opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and lay the groundwork for future activities together.
