THE MARIE CURIE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION: BE PART OF THEIR INTERACTIVE NETWORK!
On November, 2013, the Marie Curie Alumnus Association (MCAA) was officially launched with the election of the executive board at the first General Assembly in Brussels.
The MCAA is now extending an invitation to all previous and current fellowship recipients to join their interactive community. The association can offer you a whole range of useful information, services and facilities that they plan to roll out over the coming months. There are now over 2600 alumni registered on the MCAA web-site, and they are already interacting with each other via the various facilities they offer.
Since around 65 000 researchers have benefited from a Marie Curie fellowship, the potential for networking is substantial so don't miss this opportunity to join their network!
You can find more information about the MCAA in their webpage: www.mariecuriealumni.eu and you can read more about their newsletter through this link.

About the course
For a German and a Finn, the truth is the truth. In Japan and Britain it is all right if it doesn’t rock the boat. In China there is no absolute truth. In Italy it is negotiable!
Whether it be welcoming a visiting professor, liasing with an overseas institution or communicating with a range of foreign partners, interaction across cultures is today an everyday occurrence.
A lack of cultural preparation can have an impact at many levels for both Danes and foreigners – from an embarrassing moment to a breakdown in communication. Understanding differences in, for example, communication patterns and attitudes to authority are essential for successful cross-cultural interactions.
Participants
Academic and administrative staff working in culturally diverse environments. Danish as well as international employees.
Objective
The purpose of the course is to provide the participants with practical tools as well as knowledge to improve their inter-cultural competencies as well as methods to develop their cross-cultural communication skills and increase overall cultural self-awareness when collaborating across cultural differences. The course provides the participants with two personal assessment tools (IDI and ICS) on communication styles and cultural competency as well as cultural coping strategies in a professional and reflective way.
