  3. 1. Statistics: Fellows in Host country per 1000 Researchers

  4. 1. Statistics: Fellows Nationality per 1000 Researchers

  5. Marie Curie Actions - Overview 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)

  6. ‘People’ – deadlines, budgets, success rates

  7. Focus is on knowledge transfer between academia and industry Support for creation, development and reinforcement and execution of strategic partnerships, aimed at knowledge sharing and inter-sector mobility, based on targeted human resources interaction Open to all disciplines – from Engineering to Social Sciences and Humanities Bottom-up – no pre-defined topics or priority areas Objectives

  8. Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP) Minimum configuration is a university and company (one in Ireland, one abroad) Funds staff exchange of early stage (PhD) experienced researchers (Postdocs) Technical Research managerial Also funds hiring of additional staff (experienced researchers)

  9. IAPP Objectives Foster co-operation between non-commercial research organisations & commercial enterprises based on joint research projects. Stimulate long-term collaboration between sectors through secondment of researchers between the public & private research domains. Diverse career possibilities & research experience for researchers, knowledge sharing/cultural exchange.

  10. Non-Commercial Universities/research centres Non-profit or charitable organisations International European interest organisations Joint Research Centre of European Commission International organisations (WHO, UNESCO) Commercial Commercial enterprises of ALL sizes (incl. SMEs, spin offs, start ups) National organisations if commercial IAPP Participants At least 1 non-commercial organisation At least 1 commercial enterprise

  11. IAPP Participants At least 2 different EU or Associated States + free choice. EU Member States (MS) & Associated Countries (AC):EU27 + Switzerland, Israel, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Turkey, Croatia, FYROM, Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia. “Third Countries” 2 categories International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC):based on three categories according to income per capita (low-income, lower-middle-income, or upper-middle-income) Other Third Countries (OTC):US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand.

  12. Compulsory Secondment of staff Majority of support in IAPP Always inter-sector Normally 2-way with in-built return Up to 30% for secondments within 1 country Optional Recruitment of experienced researchers Not substitute for secondment (<=50%) Other Networking activities Workshops & Conferences: participants' own research staff & external researchers IAPP Main activities

  13. IAPP Eligible Researchers • Secondment • Early-stage/Experienced researchers (2-24 months) • Must be staff members for at least 12 months • Reintegration into the home institution for at least 1 year • Recruitment • Experienced researchers from any country (12-24 months) Early-stage researchers (ESR) Experience ≤ 4 years No PhD Experienced researchers 2 pay scales4-10 years experience (ER)>10 years of research (MER)

  14. IAPP Nationality Rules Secondment No nationality restrictions Recruitment Researchers not residing / having main activity in country of the host > 12 months in last 3 years before recruitment Hosts in ICPC or OTC can only recruit MS or AC nationals

  15. Joint Research Project Research of mutual interest to all partners Milestones & deliverables Secondments underpin co-operation between partners in different sectors Possibility to recruit experienced researchers Networking Activities Organisation of scientific/managerial network meetings Invitation of external experts Attendance at international conferences & workshops Electronic networking (internet webpages, email, video conferencing) IAPP Activities

  16. Community contributions Gross amounts (rates for 2010) Living allowance* €38,000 / 19,000 per year (ESR: post-graduates) € 58,500 / 29,250 per year (ER: 4-10 years) € 87,500 / 43,750 per year (MER: > 10 years) Mobility / travel allowance* € 700 or 1000 per month Research/training/networking costs € 1800 per researcher-month Small equipment expenses for SMEs max. 10 % of SME contribution Overheads 10% of direct costs Management costs max. 10% of total contribution Fellow expenses Host expenses *Correction Coefficients apply; IE = 114.7

  17. What does IAPP offer? 100% funding Simple application procedure: short and precise Few reporting requirements – 2 main reports in 4 years Support – in particular NCPs Top class public and private sector evaluators Marie Curie label Networking and conference costs SMEs – equipment contribution

  18. Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP) Duration: 3-4 years Funds the associated salary costs and contribution to research, management and overheads Call open on 30 July 2010, deadline 7 December 2010 Budget €80 million Success rate 2009: 17% (Ireland 37%)

  19. Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP) • Slow start in 2007… not a single successful proposal with Irish participation. • Increased interest (and success!!) in 2008. 6 out of 9 Irish proposals funded. • Only two of the seven universities involved in IAPPs.
