That’s a wrap on the MCAA Policy Forum 2025! 👏 When Europe invests in researchers, it strengthens its strategic position, competitiveness, innovation, and global leadership. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) have been a vital force that transforms potential into excellence and excellence into measurable impact. The MCAA Policy Forum 2025, held yesterday under the patronage of Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Christian Ehler, provided a platform for dialogue between researchers and policymakers. Attendees had the chance to hear from high-level speakers, including: ▪️ MEP Lina Gálvez Muñoz, Member of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy  ▪️ MEP Ivars Ijabs, Member of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy  ▪️ MEP René Repasi, Member of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs  ▪️ Jimmy Bruun Felthaus, Minister Counsellor, Permanent Representation of Denmark to the EU ▪️ Claire Morel, Head of the MSCA Unit The event opened with an introductory speech by our Chair, Gian Maria Greco, followed by a presentation by our Executive Director, Mostafa Moonir Shawrav, of our new report on the impact of the MSCA. The report, published as the MCAA’s official book, highlights the transformative impact that the MSCA has had on European academia, society, technology, and the economy. The discussions highlighted the importance of evidence-based dialogue in shaping policies that will define the European research and innovation landscape for decades to come. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Brussels and online. Let’s work together to continue championing and strengthening the MSCA! 🙌 🔗 Read our report on the programme’s impact: https://lnkd.in/eRT87zja  #MSCA #ERA #SciencePolicy #ResearchCareers
