Taskforce Contacts to Industry

The taskforce "Contacts to industry" has not been active since early 1999. If you would like to start a similar activity, please contact the co-ordinators of the Swedish MCFA.

The taskforce 'Contacts to Industry' was formed to act as a structured interface between the Marie Curie Fellows on one side and the world of research in industry on the other side.  The aims of the taskforce were to: 

• Facilitate contacts of Marie Curie fellows with companies active in fields like consulting, management and high-tech research
• Promote the visibility and reputation of Marie Curie Fellows in the private sector
• Organise events like symposia and workshops, and other public events to support the direct mutual contact between Marie Curie Fellows and the private sector
• Work out a European framework to realise these aims

At our page with jobs and career links on the internet you will find a list of links to various job vacancies of companies and recruitment services. 

A more elaborate formulation for the strategy of the taskforce can be found in following discussion papers (all papers are draft versions!):
