Frascati Scienza (https://www.frascatiscienza.it/) organised a meeting with Cristina Paducea, Project Officer (PO) from the European Commission – Research Executive Agency, for MSCA fellows living in Italy, as part of the European Researchers’ Night 2018. The meeting was attended by several early stage researchers (ESR) and an experienced researcher (ER) where experiences were shared in applying for the fellow position, writing proposals for individual fellowships, and overcoming the bureaucracy and mobilities during our fellowship. An agreement was made to arrange more events for the MCAA Italy chapter to strengthen connection and collaborations, especially in science communication and dissemination.
