SUMMARY:MSCA at 30: Research mobility & bridging gaps across Europe. REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years of MSCA Programme is more than an anniversary.

SUMMARY:EMERGE-EU: AI and Health – another PolSCA study visit to Brussels
DESCRIPTION:Polish Science Contact Agency PolSCA in Brussels is organising another EMERGE-EU study visit\, this time focusing on topics related to artificial intelligence and health. As with the first edition\, the programme will include expert sessions\, networking activities in Brussels\, and an institutional visit. Participants will represent countries such as Belgium\, Bulgaria\, the Czech Republic\, Germany\, Poland\, and the United Kingdom. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe June edition builds on the initiative launched in January 2026\, when the first EMERGE-EU study visit took place in Brussels and focused on advanced materials. That event introduced a new support format for researchers at an early stage of their careers who are looking to become more active in the European research and innovation ecosystem. \n\n\n\nFocus of the visit \n\n\n\nThe visit will centre on AI and Health\, with particular attention to funding opportunities\, consortium building\, and project development at the intersection of science\, technology and healthcare. The preliminary programme includes thematic sessions with representatives of the European Commission\, meetings devoted to opportunities offered by the ERC\, EIC and COST\, as well as an overview of upcoming opportunities under Horizon Europe. The agenda also features a matchmaking session bringing together participants from different countries\, along with a study visit to one of Belgium’s research institutions. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe EMERGE-EU study visit is part of PolSCA’s broader efforts to strengthen the presence of Polish researchers in the European Research Area. Its aim is not only to support the development of participants’ individual research paths\, but also to create opportunities for long-term connections and future project collaboration in fields of growing importance to EU research policy. \n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nRegistration for the event will open in the second half of April 2026\, coinciding with the publication of the first\, preliminary version of the program for the June edition of the EMERGE-EU study visit. Detailed information regarding the application guidelines and the application form will be published on the PolSCA PAS Office website.
