Objectives of Marie-Curie Actions

• Providing broad support for the development of
  abundant and dynamic world class human resources
  in the European research system, taking into
  account the inherent international dimension of
  research ...

7
Particular attention is given in the work
programme to

• the development of research activity in the less
  favored regions of EU (new member states,
  candidate states..)
• the need for increased and more effective
  co-operation between research disciplines and
  between academia and industry, including SMEs
• the participation of women in all actions
• the personal circumstances relating mobility with
  respect to family, career development and
  languages

8
 HRM Continuity and Evolution

• Maintain the bottom-up approach (within the
  framework of objective targets and deliverables)
• Diversity/coherence/complementary of actions
• Inclusion of third country researchers (in all of
  the host actions and in specific individual
  actions)
• Removal of the age limit
• Enlargement and reinforcement of the return
  mechanisms and professional reintegration
• New measures for the promotion of excellence
• The name Marie Curie will apply to all actions

HRM The Marie-Curie Actions

• Host Actions (Research Training Networks, early
  stage host fellowships, conferences and training
  courses, fellowships for transfer of knowledge)
• Individual Actions (individual intra-European
  fellowships, outgoing, incoming)
• Excellence Promotion and Recognition (grants,
  awards and chairs)
• Return and Reintegration Mechanisms

11
HRM Host Actions I

• Marie Curie Research Training Networks
• Training of young researchers through the
  promotion of mobility and integration in an
  international collaborative project consisting of
  high-level research teams.
• Marie Curie Host Fellowships for Early Stage
  Research
• Structured training for young researchers
  within European higher education, research and
  training centers and/or enterprises including
  SMEs with the focus on acquisition of specific
  scientific and technological competencies in
  research as well as complementary skills.
• Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses
• Enable young researchers to benefit from the
  experience of leading researchers through support
  for the organisation of conferences and courses
  with a specific training value.

12
HRM Host Actions II

• Marie Curie Host Fellowships for the Transfer of
  Knowledge
• Marie Curie Development Scheme
• Reinforcement of the research potential of host
  institutions with priority of those situated in
  less favoured regions of the Member States and
  candidate countries that exhibit a need for
  complementary knowledge from a economic and
  social cohesion point of view .
• Marie Curie Strategic partnership of
  academia-industry
• Development of strategic and durable partnerships
  between the world of academia and the one of
  enterprises, in particular SMEs aiming at the
  establishment of lasting collaborations of mutual
  interest.

13
HRM Individual Fellowships

• Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships
• Training through research of most promising
  researchers from Member States and Candidate
  Countries in European organisations
• Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowships
• To enable European researchers to work in
  established third country research centers
• Reintegration mechanism
• Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowships
• To attract high-level and promising researchers
  from third countries to undertake research
  training in Europe.
• Possible reintegration/return mechanism

14
Excellence Promotion and Recognition

• Marie Curie Grants for Excellence Teams
• Providing support for the creation and initial
  development of transnational research teams.
• Marie Curie Chairs
• Appointment of world-class researchers to use
  their research experience for teaching European
  researchers .
• Marie Curie Excellence Awards
• Public recognition of excellence achieved by
  researchers who have previously benefited from
  Community support of their training and mobility.

15
Return and Reintegration mechanisms

• For researchers who have benefited from a Marie
  Curie Action
• An opportunity for researchers to endorse and
  capitalise on their transnational mobility period
  after at least a 24 months MC grant under the 6
  FP or any training/mobility action of previous
  Framework Programmes.
• For European researchers having left for a third
  country since more than 5 years
• Reinforce the attractiveness of Europe by
  encouraging European researchers to return to a
  Member State or Associated Candidate Country in
  order to contribute to European research and
  transfer of knowledge.
• Stimulate the development of lasting cooperation
  with the scientific and/or industrial milieu of
  the third country from which they have returned.

A Mobility strategy for the ERA

• Four Categories of Obstacles to mobility
• Legal and Administrative Aspects (Visa, Social
  Security, Taxes, Recognition of Diploma, etc)
• Social and Cultural Aspects
• The Career of a Researcher
• Intersectorial Mobility Academia/Industry

23
A Mobility strategy for the ERA

• A researcher needs to find information and
• assistance about
• available opportunities for researchers (grants,
  fellowships, vacancies)
• questions related to admission to the country
• access to employment, social security rights and
  fiscal issues
• aspects related to daily life (cultural issues,
  languages, housing, schooling.

24
Actions for the improvement of the environment
for mobile researchers

• The Researchers Mobility Portal
• http//europa.eu.int/eracareers/
• Job or research opportunities at EU,
  international, national or sectorial level
• Information relevant to mobile researchers such
  as national regulations, procedures and daily
  life issues

25
Actions for the improvement of the environment
for mobile researchers

• The European Network of Mobility Centers
• Mission
• To offer researchers and their families
  comprehensive and up-to-date information and
  personalised assistance in all matters relating
  to their professional and daily lives.
• Operation
• Individual Mobility Centers within each
  participating country and the Bridgehead
  Organisations
