4PEOPLE - What, Why, Who, How?
Why People?
Overall objective to attract/retain numerous,
well-trained, motivated researchers in
Europe The actions support
Education and training of Early Stage Researchers
Diversification of skills/competencies of
experienced researchers
Career development
Transnational and intersectoral research
experience
The different activities can be summarized under
the name Marie Curie Actions
Budget 4750 millions Increase of the budget
of about 50 compared to FP6
5PEOPLE - What, Why, Who, How?
Why Marie Curie Actions?
The transnational mobility is an important
component in a typical researcher career, and
often a crucial precondition for Excellence
The life and scientific achievement of Marie
Curie is a good example of such researcher
careers
The Marie Curie Actions support the transnational
mobility of researchers, enabling the access to
expertise, independent of location
To what should you pay attention?
Transnational mobility of the researchers in all
Marie Curie Actions
Graduation! Students are not supported
No age limit!
Research experience Early stage researcher
first 4 years of research experience after
graduation Experienced researcher at least 4
years of research experience or a PhD
6PEOPLE - What, Why, Who, How?
Who takes the initiative?
The research organisation An individual
researcher (in cooperation with the host
institution)
How?
Bottom-up no thematic requirements Objectives of
the action pay attention to these
Afterwards?
Agreements signed between a research
organisation and the European Commission.
Researchers are financed with the MC funds of
their host institution.
What will be funded?
Personnel costs The European Commission defines
fixed amounts Contribution to research,
networking, workshops and conferences etc. the
funding rate depends on the MC Action and the
scientific discipline concerned Overheads max.
10 of the direct costs Management max. 3-7 of
the total EC contribution, depending on the MC
Action
