Our members are often teaming up in many scientific projects and collaborations in the life sciences and beyond. EU-LIFE is also a partner of projects in the areas of responsible research & innovation, gender equality, open science and citizen science, among others. Here we highlight a few examples.
Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA)
In collaboration with the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA), we launched a report about the role of project managers in collaborative Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) projects, which includes a set of actionable strategies and recommendations to support their activity. The report is based on the discussions held during a workshop run by EU-LIFE and the MCAA Research Management Working Group (RM WG), which was co-located with the MSCA Presidency Conference 2023, organised by the European Commission and the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the EU in November 2023.
EU-LIFE/Nature Essay Contest
EU-LIFE joined forces with the prestigious journal Nature to launch the essay contest Utopia Institute of Research with the goal to encourage reflection and generate new ideas about how the places where research is conducted should be. This essay contest was part of the EU-LIFE 10th anniversary celebrations, which were devoted to envisioning the research centres of the future.
