Marie Skłodowska-Curie inspired scientists and science
The spirit behind the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)
As a scientist, few lines are far of being sufficient to describe the pioneering research works of Marie Sklodowska-Curie. She is also well-known to be "the only woman on the picture" on the famous Solvay picture. Prizes do mean a lot since she is the first woman to receive a Nobel prize and to receive two (!) Nobel prizes.
Engaged in the society. Engaged during the World War I.
Marie Sklodowska-Curie was deeply engaged in society, contributing to scientific advancement and humanitarian causes alike. During World War I, she developed mobile radiography units to assist battlefield surgery, directly saving lives through applied science.
Science for all generations
We could also encourage the reading of her book for kids that she wrote to her nephew "Leçons de Marie Curie : Physique élémentaire pour les enfants de nos amis". It embodies her belief that science should be shared, taught, and made accessible from a young age.
An example for all
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) under Horizon Europe honor her legacy by:
- Fostering excellence in research
- Promoting international and intersectoral collaboration
- Training the young generation
