Recently (this past February, sorry, we are running a little bit late!) we were invited by the Spanish Research Agency in the USA to attend the D
estination Europe conference held in Boston, MA, organized by the European Commission.
The event was designed to showcase the research opportunities in Europe to any scientist interested in working in Europe.
Over 11 european countries and associations were present in the 2-day conference, including a meeting in Boston and a job-fair at MIT. The role of the Quintana lab (Albert in this case) testimonial was two-fold: 1) describe the opportunities for researchers in Spain and 2) present the advantages of applying (and obtaining) an ERC grant, which were also showcased in this interview in the EURAXESS NA newsletter.
Furthermore, it was great to hear to the different experts explain the many (and diverse) opportunities to do research in Europe (you can find the presentations in this LINK).
Plus… it is not every day that one can give a lecture at the MIT!
