## Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA)

The Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) is an association of researchers who have benefitted or are benefiting from a Marie Curie Action (recently renamed “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions” under the “Excellent Science” pillar of EU’s Horizon 2020 Programme for Research). Researchers on the verge of working on a Marie Curie project are also eligible to join. Supervisors and Coordinators of Marie Curie Projects are eligible to join. The main objective of the association is to provide its members with a space where they can share experiences and interests. Matthew DiFranco is the Chair of MCAA.[4]
