CESAER President Orla Feely, President of University College Dublin, moderated the panel ‘From curiosity to impact – attracting and empowering young talent’ at the European Commission’s event ‘Celebrating 30 years of MSCA – Curiosity that changes the world’ on 1 October 2026.
The panel brought together perspectives from policymaking and research to explore how Europe can attract and empower the next generation of researchers. It formed part of a wider programme reflecting on the contribution of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) to scientific excellence and Europe’s future.
CESAER congratulates MSCA on its 30th anniversary. Over three decades, the programme has supported more than 150,000 researchers, advancing research excellence and enabling collaboration across countries, disciplines and sectors.
As we mark this achievement, we reaffirm the importance of sustained investment in research careers and international collaboration. Supporting researchers and enabling them to pursue their ideas strengthens Europe’s capacity for discovery and innovation.
