MCFA National Groups

General Notes on National Groups

We are currently (April 2007) updating the web pages of most active National Groups, including an update of each "Welcome Pack".  This can take some time! We have left outdated Welcome Packs where available as this can still be source of valuable information for future Marie Curie Fellows.

If you have a specific question, you can write us an e-mail or even better, post your message in one of the MCFA mailing lists.  You will get precious help from former and present MC Fellows, National Contact Points and policy makers who read and write to the MCFA mailing lists.  To subscribe to the lists, go to the "Communication" button and then click on the corresponding tab.

The National Groups Committee

The committee on local groups is the exchange forum between national groups and acts as communication channel between the MCFA Administrative board and the national groups. The members forming the committee are the present co-ordinators and webmasters of the national MCFA groups. 

For questions regarding national groups please contact the national groups responsible natgroups at mariecurie.org. The National groups committee has its own mailing list: coord at mariecurie.org. Membership in this list is by invitation only. The messages of the national groups mailing list are archived in the Discussion Forum.

Welcome Packs

The national groups prepared a collection of Welcome Packs for new Marie Curie Fellows in almost each member country of the European Union.
