  1. Marie Curie ‘People’ Programme in FP7 Dr. Dagmar M. Meyer Marie Curie National Contact Point Tuesday, December 18, 2007 www.iua.ie

  2. Marie Curie Actions Initial training of researchers Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN) Life-long training and career development Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) European Reintegration Grants (ERG) Co-funding of regional/national/international programmes (COFUND) Industry-academia pathways and partnerships MC Industry-Academia Pathways and Partnerships Scheme (IAPP) International dimension MC International Outgoing and Incoming Fellowships (IOF / IIF) MC International Reintegration Grants (IRG) MC International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES) Specific actions Researchers’ Night (NIGHT) An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  3. Initial Training Networks (ITN), Industry-Academia Pathways and Partnerships (IAPP) and International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES) are host actions: consortium of various institutions applies for funding successful institutions advertise positions and select fellows/researchers themselves contract duration of consortium 3 – 4 years stays of individual researchers 3 – 36 months for ITN, 2 – 24 months for IAPP, up to 12 months for IRSES What are host actions? An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  4. Intra-European/International Fellowships and Reintegration Grants are individual actions: individual researcher applies jointly with host institution duration at least 1 year for fellowships, 2 years for reintegration grants fellowship/grant bound to individual (no replacement) What are individual actions? An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  5. Organisations that are actively involved in research and/or research training: Universities/Institutes of Technology private and public research institutes companies big and small, including start-ups and spin-offs NGO’s etc. What institutions can take part? An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  6. 27 EU Member states (MS) 11 Associated Countries (AC) on equal footing with MS More than 140 International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC) additional partners, can receive full funding Other Third Countries (OTC) additional partners, generally not funded Where can they be located? An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  7. No age limits – what counts is level of experience (full-time equivalent) Early-Stage Researchers (ESR): 0 – 4 years of research experience since degree qualifying them to embark on a doctorate (irrespective of whether a doctorate is actually envisaged) Experienced Researcher (ER): either in possession of a doctoral degree, or at least 4 years of research experience What researchers can take part? An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  8. Fellow has not been resident in the host country for more than 12 months within the last 3 years Fellow does not have the nationality of the host country. Special rules in case of: dual citizenship European researcher returning from a third country third country researcher having resided in Europe for a long time international organisations What is (geographical) mobility? An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  9. Network of at least three institutions from 3 different MS/AC (single-site / twinning possible if embedded in existing network) Industry participation essential (as a minimum in the Steering Committee) Provide research trainingand training in complementary skills to researchers at the start of their career Initial Training Networks An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  10. Fellowships to ESR’s (3 – 36 months) and early post-docs (3 – 24 months), mobility required Visiting scientists (shorter visits to provide specific training), mobility required (additional activity, needs to be justified) Training and networking events, can be open to external researchers What do ITN’s offer? An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  11. Partnership of at least two organisations from different sectors in different countries to develop longer term strategic partnership Transfer of knowledge primarily through intersectoral staff exchange (2 – 24 months) with mandatory return phase (limited amount of same-country exchange possible) Injection of new knowledge through recruitment (12 – 24 months) of ER’s from outside the partnership (optional and must be well justified, mobility required) Industry-Academia Pathways and Partnerships An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  12. Salary costs during secondment phase (not return phase), and for new recruits. Transfer of knowledge and networking events, can be open to external researchers Only for SME’s: small equipment costs (up to 10% of the SME’s budget). What do IAPP’s offer? An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  13. Staff exchange programme for sustainable research partnerships between research institutions Partnership of at least three organisations, two from different MS/AC and one from a Third country 29 eligible Third countries: countries with which the EU has a S&T agreement countries falling under the European Neighbourhood Policy Based on joint research programme Industry participation excluded (in 2008 – will change) International Research Staff Exchange Scheme An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  14. Community contribution € 1,800/person month to cover travel and subsistence (for institutions in MS/AC) Scheme does not cover salaries (researchers are to be seconded and keep their usual salary) Third country partners from ICPC countries and ENP countries can receive funding in well justified cases What does IRSES offer? An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  15. For the career development and competence diversification of experienced researchers (with or without PhD, from post-doc to senior researcher) Nationals of MS/AC or “assimilated” (third country researchers having been active in MS/AC for at least 3 out of the last 4 years) Any research topic, no thematic priorities Any host institution in a MS/AC (could be a company) – mobility is a must Duration 1 – 2 years Intra-European Fellowships An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  16. Following a Marie Curie fellowship of at least 18 months duration (could be a host fellowship) For ERs from MS/AC or assimilated Support to the longer-term (re-)integration in any MS/AC institution different from the initial host, including in country of origin: contribution to the research and/or salary costs during 2 – 3 years (€15,000/year) host institution must provide adequate work contract for at least the duration of the project European Reintegration Grants An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  17. To reinforce the international dimension of the career of experienced researchers who are nationals of a MS/AC Two phases (fellowship covers both phases): outgoing phase (1 – 2 years) for training and career development in any third country institution mandatory return phase (1 year) in distinct legal entity in MS/AC for reintegration and knowledge transfer Contract is with the return host (responsible for return of the fellow) Mobility is a must International OutgoingFellowships An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  18. To reinforce scientific excellence of MS/AC by attracting top-class experienced third country researchers (not assimilated to MS/AC nationals) Enhance possibility for future collaborations One or two phases: incoming phase (1 – 2 years) in any MS/AC (fellowship) optional return phase (1 year) if researcher is from an ICPC country (€15,000/year towards research costs) Contracts with European and return host Mobility is a must Incoming International Fellowships An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  19. For ERs from MS/AC who have been active in a third country for at least 3 years have not spent more than 12 months in a MS/AC within the last 3 years should not be employed in research in MS/AC at the deadline for submission of proposals (unless significant career improvement through the IRG) Support to the longer-term (re-)integration in any MS/AC institution: contribution to the research and/or salary costs during 2 – 4 years (€25,000/year) host institution must commit itself to effective integration for at least the duration of the project International Reintegration Grants An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  20. Allowances to the researchers • Living allowance (including all mandatory deductions) – basic rate submitted to country-specific correction coefficient (Ireland: 113.3) • Mobility allowance (€500/€800 monthly, depending on family situation, only if transnationally mobile) • Travel allowance (depending on distance) • Career exploratory allowance (€2,000 once, for projects of at least 12 months duration, not for all schemes) An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  21. Contributions managed by the institutions • “Participation expenses of researchers” managed by host institution to cover research and training activities of fellows (conference attendance, training actions, research costs) • between €300 and €800 per fellow-months, depending on scheme and nature of project • does not apply to IAPP, IRSES and reintegration grants An Irish Universities Association Presentation

  22.
