The event will conclude with an open Q&A and brief networking, turning high-level overviews into actionable professional connections. In addition to the presenters, current and former MSCA fellows in attendance and members of European national scientific diaspora networks will be available to answer questions.

• MSCA fellowships

• ERC grants

This event is co-organized by EURAXESS North America, MIT Career Advising and Professional Development, and Harvard Mignone Center for Career Success. Graduate students, postdocs, and faculty from Harvard, MIT, and other area institutions are encouraged to attend. The event is free but advance registration is required. It will be held in English.
