  1. Funding for Mobility in FP6 David Lauder Ext: 5213 E-mail DDL1

  2. Aims of Today • Understand how Marie Curie Actions fit within FP6 • Where necessary, learn the jargon! • Understand how Marie Curie actions have changed since FP5 • Understand the range of different Marie Curie actions • Understand how Marie Curie actions work • Stimulate interest in applications

  3. (Useful) Jargon you will learn • Associated, Candidate, 3rd State • Early-Stage and Experienced Researcher • Difference Between a Host and an Individual Fellowship • Horizontal Programme • Travel and Mobility Allowance

  4. Countries Participation in FP6 EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, UK EEA Countries:Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway Association Agreement Countries: Israel, Switzerland (tbc) Candidate Countries: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey Third Countries: INCO (Developing, Mediterranean, Russia and CIS), all other countries

  7. A look at the different Marie Curie Actions Overview of Marie Curie Actions

  8. Overview of Marie Curie Actions • Host-Driven Actions • Marie Curie Research Training Networks • Marie Curie Host Fellowships for Early Stage Research Training • Marie Curie Fellowships for the Transfer of Knowledge • Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses • Individual Actions • Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships • Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowships • Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowships

  9. Overview contd. • Excellence Promotion and Recognition • Marie Curie Excellence Grants • Marie Curie Excellence Awards • Marie Curie Chairs • Return and Reintegration Mechanisms • Marie Curie European Reintegration Grants • Marie Curie International Reintegration Grants

  10. Marie Curie label generalised Opening of Actions to 3rd country nationals No age limit, but experience criterion Reintegration and return measures Excellence promotion measures Life-long learning concept Personal/family situation of researchers MarieCurie Actions New FP6 Features New New New New New New New

  11. Host Driven Actions Host institutions/network applies for a number of fellows/researchers Host’s proposal is evaluated Selected host/network advertises fellowship position and selects fellows/researchers Contract duration with host, usually 4 years Fellows’ stay depending on Action (up to 3 years) Individual Driven Actions Researcher applies jointly with host Fellows’ stay depending on Action Fellows withdrawing cannot be replaced Marie Curie Actions

  12. Profile ofFellows Chairs Teams Awards Advanced Lifelong Training and Excellence Intra-EuropeanFellowships InternationalFellowships  4 yearsexperience or Ph.D. Host Fellowships for Transfer of Knowledge Industry-Academia Partnership Development Action Return and Reintegration Research Training Networks < 4 yearsexperience Conferences and Training Courses Early-Stage Training Host Fellowships for Early-Stage Human Resources and Mobility (Marie Curie Actions) Transfer of Knowledge

  13. Marie Curie Actions Eligible Researchers Level of Experience: Early-stage Researchers • at the beginning of their career • < 4 years of active research experience (e.g. researchers undertaking a doctoral degree); • Experienced Researchers • at least 4 years of active research experience • or • have obtained a doctoral degree. (For some Actions, researchers with more than 10 years of experience will not be eligible)

  14. Marie Curie Actions Mobility & Nationality Requirements • not a national of the State in which they plan to be appointed and carry out their research; Exceptions: • European researchers working outside the EU for 4 years in the last 5 years. • Return and Reintegration Mechanisms. • Multiple nationalities (if not resided in the last 5 years) • International Organisations • has not been resident or worked/studied in that country for more than 12 months out of the 3 years immediately prior to either the time of application (individual Actions), or the start of their work (host Actions).

  17. Host Fellowships for Early Stage Research Training Marie Curie Research Training Networks Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses MarieCurie Actions Initial Training

  18. To develop the offer of structured research training; To stimulate the training and mobility of early stage researchers Application by host (Higher education, research centres, enterprises), who selects fellows Early stages of their career(<4 years experience) Structured training in research(incl. complementary skills) Single or Multi-partner Group(min 3 groups in 3 countries) Hosts select fellows: stays 3 months to 3 years MarieCurie Actions Host Fellowships for Early Stage Research Training

  19. To stimulate early stage researchers through participation of conferences and courses Encourage junior researchers to benefit from the experience of leading researchers Variety of Actions (including virtual ones) series of conferences, summer schools, lab courses etc. on a theme or linked themes support for junior researchers in larger conferences selected for their training interest Duration from several days to 4 weeks MarieCurie Actions Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses

  20. To stimulate the training of early stage researchers within an international collaborative research project Well defined collaborative research projects of recognised international stature Minimum 3 partners in 3 countries Flexible framework for the training and development of researchers Transfer of knowledge by experienced researchers if required by the project Promotion of multidisciplinary research Networks select fellows for stays up to 3 years (incl. short stays) MarieCurie Actions Marie Curie Research Training Networks

  21. To create or develop true strategic and durable partnerships Application by Industry and academia partners from at least 2 different countries Co-ordinating host from industry or academia, with one or more partners from the other sector Funding of exchange of experienced researchers amongst staff members, in both directions (2-24 months) Includes SMEs, spin-offs, start-ups MarieCurie Actions Industry-Academia Strategic Partnership Scheme
