"I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale."

Marie Curie Researchers Symposium
The Symposium “SCIENCE – Passion, Mission, Responsibilities” organised within the Polish Presidency of the EU Council gathered about 350 participants, including 273 Marie Curie fellows from 47 countries of which the most represented were: Spain, Poland, UK, Italy, Germany and France. They met to discuss the following themes:
• How to stimulate passion for science and scientific career?
• What should be the mission of research?
• What are the responsibilities of researchers?
It was the first such a symposium held especially for the Marie Curie researchers organised on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Marie Curie Actions – a key European programme supporting training, mobility and career development. The event created an opportunity for the grant holders to present their projects, share scientific experience, and discuss innovative ways for promoting and communicating scientific results to the wide public.
The Symposium closed with an official opening of an online Alumni platform which enables communication and exchange of experiences among Marie Curie fellows followed by the announcement of the "Promoting science: let's be innovative!" contest winners.
