  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.

  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. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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
