On 23 March 2026, the MSCA-GLOPOL project delivered an online webinar for members of the Knowledge, Innovation and Regional Development in South America (KIRDSA) network, hosted from Argentina. Presented by Charlotte Grawitz (MSCA-GLOPOL), the session provided an in-depth overview of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) funding opportunities under Horizon Europe, with a particular focus on schemes most relevant for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), including Doctoral Networks, Staff Exchanges, and Postdoctoral Fellowships (Global Fellowships). The event built on a recorded overview of Horizon Europe delivered during the KIRDSA conference in Buenos Aires in February 2026, offering participants a more detailed and interactive engagement with MSCA calls.
Bringing together approximately 10 South American researchers and professionals, the webinar fostered dialogue around bi-regional collaboration prospects and practical guidance on MSCA eligibility and application processes. Organised in partnership with KIRDSA and supported by MSCA-GLOPOL, the online event reinforced ongoing efforts to strengthen research and innovation ties between Europe and Latin America. The event served as a meaningful step towards building the capacity of LAC institutions to engage with Horizon Europe and contributed to laying the groundwork for future MSCA project partnerships.
