Session: #316

Discussion session: round table

The Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) is an international organisation based in Brussels, with representatives all over the world, via a growing number of local chapters. Several Working Groups allow interested members to contribute to important aspects of the development of the association, and the furthering of members’ interests.
Joining the MCAA is potentially very beneficial for a researcher’s career. The MCAA already has over 10,000 registered members. The overall objective of our participation in the conference in Barcelona is to reinforce the network of this particular community of MCAA fellows: it is significantly dynamic and powerful in terms of intellectual ambition and practical relevance. Many of these alumni are archaeologists and members of the EAA. The MCAA plans to become a focal point for these fellows (past and present).
In this vein, this meeting will be an opportunity to share good practice and to encourage debate on past and on-going experiences in the archaeological field, and to promote debate, research and the exchange of good practices on the quality of conservation, safeguarding, innovative reuse and enhancement of cultural heritage, and on contemporary interventions in the historical environment.
Our MCAA panel will aim to highlight how the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowships are contributing to the development of the MSCA researchers and their future perspectives in the archaeological and cultural heritage fields. In addition, this round table will aim to discuss the current situation of postdoctoral fellows, who are in temporary and insecure work.
