It explored key funding opportunities under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) and the European Research Council (ERC), while also introducing the structure and participation modalities of Pillar II. The session highlighted opportunities for Australian researchers, recent developments in EU–Australia research cooperation, and practical pathways for engaging in collaborative projects with European partners.
