The focus of the EU-Russia Researcher's Mobility Forum will be partnership in science through mobility of researchers. To illustrate the benefits of and opportunities for mobile researchers, the event will showcase success stories from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA), a programme set up by the European Commission to support researchers in all phases of their careers and in all scientific disciplines and foster mobility across borders and sectors.

For scientists and professionals in research and higher education, the EU-Russia Researchers' Mobility Forum will provide a platform for exchange of experiences, and a chance to build on productive and mutually beneficial partnerships. Fellows who have benefited from MSCA funding will present their own work at a poster session combined with elevator pitch for an even greater impact and more dynamic presentation. The event will also feature special interdisciplinary sessions dedicated to health, climate change and nanotechnology research – main EU-Russia research areas covered by the MSCA.
