Luxinnovation (National Contact Point for H2020) together with the University of Luxembourg is organising a half-day information and training workshop.
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) are a fundamental part of the European research landscape. They provide prestigious fellowships to young and experienced researchers and foster their international training and mobility. The International training networks (ITN) are a particular funding scheme under the MSCA programme that bring together universities, research centers and companies to train a new generation of researchers. Rather than funding an individual person, the block grants finance a project including the training of multiple early stage researchers and include exchanges with the partners. These exchanges are excellent opportunities for companies and academia to strengthen their networks and fuel innovation.
This event aims to inform about the opportunities for companies and academia under the MSCA ITN scheme, provide guidance on grant writing and preparation and help you get in contact with local scientists and companies that are interested in scientific exchange and innovation.
