Marie Curie Day - 7th November 2017

Published on 3 November 2017

The OMA partners: University of Liverpool, CERN and LMU Munich are going to celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of Marie Skłodowska–Curie, an outstanding researcher and a woman inspiring generations of scientists.

Since 1996, the European Union’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) have provided grants to train excellent researchers at all stages of their careers - be they doctoral candidates or highly experienced researchers – while encouraging transnational, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. The programme is named after the double Nobel Prize winner Marie Skłodowska-Curie to honour and spread the values she stood for. To date, more than 100 000 researchers have participated in the programme.

University of Liverpool, LMU Munich and CERN have been involved in many different aspects of MSCA, including large scale training networks. OMA – Optimization of Medical Accelerators is one of them.

The life and research of Marie Curie and the achievements of Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions will be communicated to a wider scientific community and to general public on the 7^th of November 2017. Public lectures and interactive poster sessions will be organized in all three locations across Europe. All OMA fellows will join the celebration of Marie Curie Day by presenting posters at LMU Munich.
