Ecsite Executive Director Catherine Franche has been invited to join the Horizon 2020 Advisory Group for the Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions (MSCA).

The European Commission is currently renewing the composition of the Horizon 2020 Advisory Groups, as the mandate of the experts selected in 2013 is about to expire. Advisory Group members assist the Commission services by providing high quality advice during the preparation of the Horizon 2020 work programme.

The programme's objectives include research career development, doctoral training, skills, international cooperation, multidisciplinarity, science communication, responsible research and innovation issues, gender, and societal and economic impact.

Catherine Franche also recently joined an Expert Group run by the network of National Contact Points in Horizon 2020 Science with and for Society (SwafS).
