In addition, they must not have been active in research for at least 12 months immediately prior to the deadline for submission of proposals. [Eligibility]

  4. Call published on the Research Participant Portalhttp://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/ • Publication of FP7 calls officially switched from CORDIS to the Research Participant Portal.

  5. [Documentation] • Call for proposal • Work programme • Guide for applicant: • (Call-Specific) • (Common) • (Ethics Parts) • Rules for the participation • Financial Guidelines ESSENTIAL!!

  17. Scientist in charge Authorised person to sign the grant agreement with the REA [A2]

  18. Nationality • Place of activity/place of residence (previous 5 years) • For eligibility • Full-time postgraduate research experience [A3]

  21. Mobility Allowances: It is a monthly payment of a flat rate contribution to cover expenses related to the mobility (relocation, family expenses,language courses, travel expenses etc.) • Depending on the family situation : • € 1000/month: experienced researcher with family obligations • € 700/month: experienced researcher without family obligations [A monthly mobility allowance]

  23. A contribution to the training expenses of the eligible experienced researcher managed by the host organisationEs: consumables, conferences/trainings, membershipsjournals, otherfees, etc • €800 per researcher-month • Overheads* • Fixed-amount of €700 per researcher-month *the correction factor for the cost of living [for the Host organisation]

  24. Example: • An experienced researcher with 8 years of experience and with family charges, coming from Bucharest to Paris for 2 years with an Intra-European Fellowship under an employment contract: • · Living allowance: € 58,500 x 2 years = € 117,000 • · Mobility allowance: € 1,000 x 24 months = € 24,000 • · Training expenses: € 800 x 24 months = € 19,200 • · Contribution to overheads: 700 x 24 months = € 16,800 Correction factor for France = 116.1% (Living allowance + Mobility allowance + Contribution to overheads)* Correction factor for France + Training expenses = € 202,405.80 [Example]
