Marie Curie Research Training Network
What is a Research Training Network (RTN)?

• A RTN consists of a consortium of teams

• located in different countries

• that propose a common research project to serve
  as a vehicle for providing training and,

• where necessary, transfer-of-knowledge

Marie Curie Research Training Network
Who are the targeted researchers?

• RTNs will be primarily directed at the training
  of researchers with less than 4 years of research
  experience.

• More experienced researchers (4-10 years of
  experience or Ph.D.) will also be involved for
  the purpose of transfer of knowledge, f.e. in
  highly multidisciplinary and intersectorial
  projects.

Which research topics are supported?

• Proposals from all areas of scientific and
  technological research of interest to the
  European Community

• no pre-defined thematic priority areas

• Projects that fully exploit the network structure
  particularly those overcoming institutional and
  disciplinary boundaries most valued

What is a size of a RTN?

• A network consortium must have legal entities
  from at least three Member or Associated states

• two of them must be EU Member or Candidate
  Countries.

SAFIR

Marie Curie Research Training Network

• The size must be chosen to best achieve the
  training and transfer of knowledge objectives,
  while ensuring effective overall management and
  interaction amongst the teams.

• Typically, the composition of the network
  partnership is ranging from 5-15 teams.

How can the funding be used?

• At least 65 of the funding must be used for the
  benefit of the researchers that are appointed by
  the network (including their living allowances,
  travel expenses etc).
