As part of the promotional activities of the MSCA-GLOPOL project, a regional hybrid flagship event will take place in the African Union context. The event aims to support African-based institutions in increasing their participation in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) — the European Union’s flagship programme for researcher mobility, training, and international cooperation.
Organisers & Partners: This event is jointly organised by the MSCA-GLOPOL Project, the MCAA Africa Chapter, the European Commission (DG Education and Culture — MSCA Unit), and the University of Nairobi.
Who Should Attend: The event targets universities, research institutions, project offices, and innovation stakeholders interested in international research cooperation. It is particularly relevant for African institutions seeking to engage with European research programmes and build sustainable partnerships with European partners.
Programme Highlights
The event features two thematic sessions:
Session 1 — MSCA Doctoral Networks A deep dive into cooperation opportunities for African institutions in MSCA Doctoral Networks, including real-life case studies from Stellenbosch University (South Africa) and the University of Nairobi (Kenya, tbc).
Session 2 — International, Intersectoral & Interdisciplinary Collaboration A panel discussion exploring the full range of MSCA opportunities for regional cooperation, with a special focus on Staff Exchanges and the potential for cross-sectoral and cross-border research partnerships.
Both sessions feature presentations by MSCA experts, representatives of the European Commission, cases of successful participation from African Institutions and distinguished MCAA Fellows from the African continent.
