  1. People - FP7 Under the "People" programme, individuals should be stimulated to enter into the profession of researcher, European researchers should be encouraged to stay in Europe, researchers from the entire world should be attracted to Europe and Europe should be made more attractive to the best researchers. Building on the positive experiences with the "Marie Curie Actions" under previous Framework Programmes, the "People" programme should encourage individuals to enter the profession of researcher; structure the research training offer and options; encourage European researchers to stay in, or return to, Europe; encourage intersectoral mobility, and attract researchers from all over the world to Europe. The mobility of researchers is key not only to the career development of researchers but also to the sharing and transfer of knowledge between countries and sectors and to ensuring that innovative frontier research in various disciplines benefits from dedicated and competent researchers, as well as increased financial resources. Mårten Jansson, People NCP marten.jansson@vinnova.se

  2. People programme = Marie Curie Actions From pure mobility actions to a dedicated programme for structuring training, mobility and career development One main condition to be eligible:Mobility • Employment contracts with full social rights • Adequate working conditions and attractive salaries • Addressed to researchers at all stages of their careers • Peer-reviewed international evaluation • European (and international) prestige Geographical Sectorial

  3. Marie Curie Actions • Main characteristics • Open to all domains of research (bottom-up approach) • Application through calls for proposals • Selection criteria: • S&T quality • Training/Transfer of Knowledge • Quality of researcher • Impact • Implementation

  4. Initial training of researchers Initial Training Networks* Life-long training and career development Intra-European Fellowships / European Reintegration Grants Co-funding of regional/national/international programmes Industry-academia pathways and partnerships Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways* International dimension Outgoing & Incoming* International Fellowships; International Cooperation Scheme; International Reintegration grants; Support to researcher ‘diasporas’* Specific actions Mobility and career enhancement actions;Excellence awards Marie Curie Actions FP7 * Open to third-country nationals

  5. Intra-European Fellowships for career development (IEF) To support the career development of experienced researchers at different stages of their careers • 12 to 24 months (full-time) period • Any nationals working/living in MS/AS moving to another MS/AS • Mobility requirement at the deadline of the call (definition) International Outgoing Fellowships for career development (IOF) To reinforce the international dimension of the career of European researchers • 12-24 months period in a TC plus 12 months of compulsory return phase in MS/AC • For Nationals of MS/AC International Incoming Fellowships (IIF) To reinforce the scientific excellence of MS/AS with incoming to Europe top-class researchers from TC • 12-24 months period in MS/AC • Third country nationals coming from outside Europe • Possible return phase to country of origin (12 months)

  6. PEOPLEMarie Curie Actions in FP7 • Main differences with FP6 • From 6 to 5 criteria (quality of the host is now included in other criteria) • Weights of S&T, Researcher and Implementation criteria went up • Weight ofImpact (ex added value) went down

  7. European Reintegration Grants (ERG) • After a Marie Curie fellowship of at least 18 months duration • Financial contribution of 15 000 €/year during 2-3 years • Host institution within MS/AS, including country of origin • Research costs, including salary of researchers or assistants International Reintegration Grants (IRG) • Researchers returning from third countries to a MS/AC • Financial contribution of 25 000 €/year during 3-4 years • Host institution within MS/AS, including country of origin • Research costs, including salary of researchers or assistants

  9. FP7: Marie Curie Actions Initial Training Networks (ITN)

  10. Marie Curie Actions in FP7:ITN • Objectives: • Strengthen and structure Initial Training of Researchers at European level • Attract students to scientific careers • Improve career perspectives by broad skills development (including private sector needs) • Directed at early-stage researchers

  11. Initial Training Networks (ITN) Aims to improve career perspectives of early stage researchers in both public & private sector • Structuring the Initial Training of Researchers at EU level : • International Networks of Participants • Mutual recognition of Training/Degrees • Opening training events to external researchers • Complementary skills: entrepreneurship, management, IPR, grant writing, communication • Participant rules : • Generally at least 3 participants : Universities, research centres, companies, SMEs • Typically located in at least 3 different MS/AC • Involvement of private sector

  12. Eligibility Criteria at the time of recruitment Duration of appointments Early stage researchers (≥ 80%)* 0 ≤ Research experience ≤ 4 years No PhD 3-36 months Experienced researchers PhD or at least 4 years of research experience & Research experience ≤ 5 years 3-24 months Visiting scientists (a limited number) Experienced researchers (experience >> 4 years) with outstanding stature in international training and collaborative research ≥ 1 month Multiple stays Eligible researchers: Member State, AC, ICPC and OTC nationals INITIAL TRAINING Transfer of NEW COMPETENCES Mobility rule - Transnational mobility *ESR/ER balance based on person months

  13. Initial Training Networks (ITN) Eligible researchers :Nationals from any country • Mainly early-stage researchers • Experienced researchers • Visiting scientists (experienced researchers) Community Contribution : • Salaries of recruited researchers/visiting scientists • Research and networking costs • Organization of training events open to external researchers

  14. Marie Curie Actions in FP7:ITN DATES and FIGURES • Call Date: September 2009 • Budget: € 244 million • Submission Deadline: 22 December 2009 • Procedure: Single stage submission/ evaluation • Evaluation results: ~ Feb/Mar2010 • Contract signature: ~ jun/jul 2010 onwards

  15. Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways IAPP

  16. Industry–Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP) Aims to open and foster dynamic pathways between public research organisations and private commercial enterprises Objectives : • Foster co-operation between non-commercialresearch organisations & commercialenterprises based on joint research projects • Stimulate long-term collaboration between sectors through secondment of staff • Diverse career possibilities & research experience for researchers, knowledge sharing/cultural exchange Participant rules : • At least 1 partner from commercial & 1 partner from non-commercial sector • Located in at least 2 different MS/AC • Additional partners from any sector and from any other country

  17. Industry–Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP) Intersectorial mobility and skills exchange : Staff secondments is the key element • Eligible researchers : • Staff exchange – secondments : 2 to 24 months. Any level of experience, incl. technical & managerial staff. Exchange always between sectors (and usually countries). Obligatory return for at least 1 year • Recruitment (optional) : 12 to 24 months. Only experienced researchers (post-docs). Mobility requirement • Community contribution : • Staff secondments and recruitment of experienced researchers (optional) • Research and networking costs • Specific small equipment for SMEs: <10% total contribution
