 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The aim of the project SCIENCE-PAMIR is to organise a 2-day symposium titled SCIENCE – Passion, Mission, Responsibility, for researchers participating in the Marie Curie Actions. The event organised during the Polish Presidency will take place on 26-27 September 2011, in Warsaw and will be an occasion to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Marie Curie Actions which also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Marie Sklodowska-Curie. The programme of the symposium includes three general sessions (PASSION: Scientific career, MISSION: Science and challenges, RESPONSIBILITY: Science for society), six thematic panels, contest on Innovative ways of promoting science, session with Nobel Prize winners, and an official opening of the Marie Curie Alumni Services. The number of participants will approximate 300 fellows. The abstracts submitted by researchers will be published in a booklet, the prize-winning works submitted to the contest will be broadly disseminated, the event and its results will be promoted through the Polish and international media. The Symposium will have a significant impact within the research sector, including the focus on research career development; it will also positively influence the reception of science in the society, underlining the role of science in the social and economic development.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

The EU's Marie Curie Actions have helped tens of thousands of researchers to take advantage of mobility opportunities and gain valuable experience. To mark their 15th anniversary, the Polish presidency organised a major two-day symposium on the passion, mission and responsibilities of research careers.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Science can help Europe to find answers to its various socioeconomic and environmental challenges. However, European science is only as good as European scientists. Since 1996, the EU's Marie Curie Actions have helped over 50 000 researchers to gain experience through training and mobility, develop their careers, and undertake groundbreaking research.

To mark Marie Curie's 15th anniversary, in 2011 the then Polish EU Presidency organised a high-profile symposium in Warsaw, the birthplace of Marie Sk?odowska-Curie.

Financed by the EU and Polish Ministry for Science and Higher Education, the Marie Curie Researchers' Symposium "Science - Passion, Mission, Responsibilities" (SCIENCE-PAMIR) project-organised event drew nearly 350 participants, including 273 Marie Curie fellows representing 46 countries in all the action areas covered.

Under the banner of "Science - Passion, Mission, Responsibilities", the symposium enabled Marie Curie fellows to discuss their work and the impact of Marie Curie Actions on their careers. In addition, participants explored ways to improve networking and collaboration between fellows. They also shared their experiences in raising public awareness.

The symposium helped to develop a feeling of community and common purpose between current and former Marie Curie fellows. It also raised the profile of this pan-European mobility programme and helped to raise public awareness of the importance of science and the role of scientists.
