Aim of the event
Join us for a dynamic and interactive workshop hosted by CONNECTS-UK, in collaboration with EURAXESS and Newcastle University (NCL Europe). This session will focus on the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Individual Fellowships.
This session goes beyond an informative presentation – it’s an opportunity to engage directly with successful MSCA fellows from various research fields. You’ll gain first-hand insights into their fellowship journeys, hear about their successes and challenges, and have the chance to interact with them personally to ask questions and receive guidance.
