  3. Industry? Academia? US, Japan…? PEOPLE programme in briefWhy a People programme? Where do they go? Are enough researchers staying in research? Who produces the researchers? Is research put into use as it should? Do we produce enough researchers? Is research attractive enough? Are the researchers attractive enough?

  4. PEOPLE programme objectivesObjectives • Strengthening the human potential in R&D in Europe • Stimulate people to enter into the profession of researcher • Attract/retain numerous, well-trained, motivated researchers in Europe • Development of adequate and broad skills for both the private and public sector; increased private sector participation (except for IRSES) • Addressed to researchers at all stages of their career • Sustainable career development • Strengthen international dimension • No thematic priorities

  5. Features of the Marie Curie Actions • Researchermobilityisrequired • mobilityallowance • travelallowance • Support isgiven for future career planning • careerdevelopmentallowance • Researchersacquirecomplementaryskillsalso • egproject management, researchethics, languages • Variety of fundingschemestailored to all stages of a researcherscareer • Variousschemes to support researchers of anynationality

  9. Objectives • Encourage and help researchers to establish a research career in Europe • To increase the prospects of integration of the researcher in Europe • To improve transfer of knowledgeandlasting cooperation with previous host(s) of researcher • A measure to counter European brain drain

  10. Participation Rules • For Experienced Researcher: Must have a PhD or at least 4 years of research experience • Researcher can be of any nationality; • Researcher must move country to take up research job (must comply with Mobility Rule): - During the past 36 months max 12 months spent in host country; - No nationality requirement =>Possible to return to home country; • Duration of CIG grant: 24 – 48 months (2012: up to 4 years); • Host must offer full time research post for at least the duration of the CIG grant; • EU contribution: 25 000 €/year paid as flat rate.

  11. BackgroundERG/IRG/CIG • Builds on the previous Marie Curie Reintegration Grants, European and International (ERG, IRG)  Career Integration Grants (CIG): For any researcher (of any nationality) To assist in the establishment of a career in the ERA Mobility, from any country to a EU/AC is compulsory Rates the same as the old IRG (4 x €25 000) • Summary of changes in terms of RG: ERG: Drop the ex-Marie Curie fellow eligibility condition ERG: Reintroduce mobility eligibility condition IRG: Drop the nationality condition ERG/IRG: Harmonise payments at ‘old IRG’ rates

  12. EU contributionThe Host Perspective • A CIG can be combined with (almost) any other funding Not possible to combine with other Marie Curie grants Not possible to combine with other personal grants that ”pays everything” (e.g. ERC grants; to be decided on a case to case basis ) • CIG paid as flat rate  no restrictions on what type of project costs can be covered: Part of salary of Researcher (or other people working on project) Equipment, Consumables, travels Overhead, management costs, etc... • Simplified reporting

  13. Proposal preparation • Read carefully the Guide for Applicants • Refer to the relative Work Programme • Follow the rules! • Check the eligibility criteria (experience/mobility) • Search for a host institution and scientific supervisor • Proposal is submitted conjointly • Determine a realistic timetable for drafting your proposal • Think about your career prospects and potential impact of your proposal • Seek assistance for local office/NCP • Contact former Marie Curie fellows (MCFA)

  14. Evaluation criteria and thresholds

  15. Some tips for success • Consultations NCP/Portal/Brussels • Read carefully also Guide for applicants • Check if you comply with the eligibility rules • Very good Researcher and S&T quality project • Be precise and demonstrate your skills • Follow the updated given structure • Underline important clear information
