Human Resources and Mobility

This strategy aims to promote the mobility of researchers in Europe by addressing legal/administrative, social/cultural, career, and intersectorial mobility barriers. It includes the creation of a Researcher's Mobility Portal and a European Network of Mobility Centers.

  1. Human Resources and Mobility A Mobility Strategy For The European Research Area Sigi Gruber Unit D1 - Strategy and Policy Aspects EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  2. January 2000: “Towards a European Research Area” Emphasises the need for more abundant and more mobile researchers Mobility becomes an instrument for the transfer of scientific knowledge for science and society Key Dates EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  3. Key Dates Mars 2000 The Lisbon European Council: • The Commission together with the Member States must take the necessary steps to remove obstacles to mobility of researchers in Europe EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  4. Key Dates June 2000 - April 2001 • High Level Expert Group on Improving Mobility to Researchers • Questionnaire to all the Member States about the identification of obstacles and good practices EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  5. Key Dates June 2001 - December 2002 • A Mobility Strategy for the European Research Area (Com (2001) 331 final) • Resolution from the Council • Decision to create a “Steering Group” in February 2002 • First Implementation Report about this strategy EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  6. A Mobility strategy for the ERA Four Categories of Obstacles to mobility: • Legal and Administrative Aspects (Visa, Social Security, Taxes, Recognition of Diploma, etc) • Social and Cultural Aspects • The Career of a Researcher • Intersectorial Mobility Academia/Industry EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  7. A Mobility strategy for the ERA A Researcher intends to undergo a research training period or to carry out research in another country What are the needs? EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  8. A Mobility strategy for the ERA A researcher needs to find information and assistance about: • available opportunities for researchers (grants, fellowships, vacancies) • questions related to admission to the country • access to employment, social security rights and fiscal issues • aspects related to daily life (cultural issues, languages, housing, schooling…. EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  9. Actions for the improvement of the environment for mobile researchers The Researcher’s Mobility Portal: • Job or research opportunities at EU, international, national or sectorial level • Information relevant to mobile researchers such as national regulations, procedures and daily life issues EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  10. The Researcher’s Mobility Portal EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  11. Actions for the improvement of the environment for mobile researchers EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions The Researcher’s Mobility Portal - Timetable: • Development of Pilot Portal: October 2002 - May 2003 • Presentation of prototype: launching conference of FP 6 - November 2002 • User trial group: February - April 2003 • Information campaign: April 2003….. • Launch of Pilot Portal: May 2003

  12. Actions for the improvement of the environment for mobile researchers EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions The European Network of Mobility Centers Mission: To offer researchers and their families comprehensive and up-to-date information and personalised assistance in all matters relating to their professional and daily lives.

  13. Actions for the improvement of the environment for mobile researchers EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions The designation of the Mobility Centers is decided in each country by the Research Ministry: Two categories: Individual Mobility Centers within each participating country the “Bridgehead Organisations”

  14. Actions for the improvement of the environment for mobile researchers EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions The European Network of Mobility Centers - Timetable: Expert group: November: 2001 - May 2002 The Steering Committee carried out mapping exercise at national level and identified the “bridgehead organisations” First meeting for “Bridgehead Organisations”: 6 November The structuring of the European Network is ongoing Launch of the European Network: Spring 2003

  15. Actions for the improvement of the environment for mobile researchers Exchanges of best practice in the field of: • Access to employment • Social security (Seminar) • Taxation • Inter-sectorial mobility work also linked to Action Plan Skills and Mobility EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  16. Actions for the improvement of the environment for mobile researchers EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions • Condition of admission of Third Country Researchers in Europe: • Seminar for exchange of information/ best practice • Questionnaire • Synthesis report presented to Immigration and Asylum Committee (DG JAI) and to Mobility Steering Group (DG RTD) • Faster and easier procedures for entry and circulation of third country researchers and their families in Europe

  17. A Mobility strategy for the ERA What else does a researcher need? EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions

  18. The 6th Framework Programme New financial incentives: through a successful implementation of the Marie-Curie Actions EC -DG Research Dir. D : Human Factor, Mobility and Marie Curie Actions
