We are glad
to inform you that the European Commission is organising an online
information session on the MSCA Green Charter on 17 October,
13-14:30h CEST. The event is targeted to MSCA fellows, supervisors,
coordinators and alumni who are interested in doing conducting their projects
sustainably.
The MSCA
Green Charter foresees that activities funded under the Marie
Skłodowska-Curie Actions should be performed as sustainably as possible. This
lunchtime online session aims to unpack what that means. We will be taking a
closer look at the MSCA Green Charter itself
-
what
it contains
-
how
it encourages beneficiaries to improve the sustainability of their practices
-
how
it can play a role in the evaluation of otherwise equal (“ex-aequo”) project
proposals
The event
will also be the occasion to present the main preliminary findings of a
study recently completed by the European Commission on the Charter’s
implementation. We will point to useful guidance material and invite past
and current MSCA beneficiaries – individuals as well as institutions – to share
tips on how their adopted sustainable practices in their own projects.
The event
is interactive and will provide opportunities for questions and discussion on
policy and practice in greening research.
