MSCA 2020 - Achieving more together

On September 29, 2020, the conference "MSCA 2020 - Achieving more together" was held as part of the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The conference focused on the two important topics "Synergies between MSCA and European Universities" and "Supervision in the MSCA and beyond". Another important part of the conference was the MSCA Falling Walls Lab 2020, where 20 outstanding scientists presented their research to the jury and the audience. This Falling Wall Lab was an excellent example of science communication - a topic of great importance in bringing science policy, research and society together. In addition to high-ranking representatives from politics and science, more than 550 people from over 50 countries participated in the online conference. This high number of participants clearly demonstrated the importance of the MSCA in European research policy.

Project objective

The second half of 2020 is a crucial time for Research and Innovation in Europe. The new framework programme ""Horizon Europe"" will start in 2021 (though the start depends on an agreement of the multi annual financial framework, nevertheless, this agreement should be reached during the German presidency), and with it a new seven year span of the MSCA. Moreover, new initiatives in the European research and education landscape have just started with the ""European Universities Initiative"" probably as their most prominent one. The MSCA German Council Presidency Conference “MSCA 2020 – Achieving more together” will address different MSCA topics embedded into greater political contexts. The focus will be on: 1. MSCA and European Universities: As for the ERA, council conclusions on the European Universities Initiative are planned for November 2020 during the German Presidency. The German MSCA conference seems to be the right place to draw the first conclusions of this initiative and to determine wishful synergies. 2. Supervision in MSCA: We would like to put the focus on the highly important, but so far neglected group of supervisors in MSCA, and shed light on their challenges. Written guidelines for good supervision shall be a result of the conference, which will be done in a working group to be initiated in 2020.""
