UCY – Info-Day 14 December 2011

INTRODUCTION

You may be Informal – “loose” / “at ease”

This should be “Quick and Dirty” so nobody wastes time…

I WILL be available after the presentation for anyone more interested.

“Paper-less” Approach: I will send everything to you via email after the presentation…!

Feel free to grab any “take-home” promo-material that I’ve left on the table…

The European Union of today

So we know where we...“play“

• 27 Member States

– 5 Associated Countries

(Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein,

Norway, Switzerland)

• with a population of 500 Mio.

– 4 counties represent 50%

of EU population (F-D-I-UK)

• Ambition to become the

world„s most dynamic

knowledge-based economy

• European Research Area: http://ec.europa.eu/research/era/index_en.htm

© European Communities, 1995-2009

http://ec.europa.eu/research/era/index_en.htm

To which countries

are Marie Curie open?

All Member States of the European Union (MS)

Associated country (AC) means a third country with an science and technology agreement with the European Community, under which it makes a financial contribution to FP7

Candidate County currently recognized as candidates for future accession

Third country means a state that is not a MS of the European Union, not a AC nor a candidate country

International cooperation partner country (ICPC) means a third country which the European Commission classifies as a low-income, lower-middle-income or upper-middle income country and which is identified as such in the FP7 work programmes

Industrialized high-income countries (USA, Canada, Japan etc.) are generally not funded (unless specified), but they can participate on a self-financing basis.

Please note: Third countries and ICPC may have varying eligibility for different specific and work programmes

Who can participate?

Participation in FP7 is open to a wide range of organisations

and individuals as:

• Research groups at universities or research institutes

• Companies intending to innovate

• Small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

• Public or governmental administration

• Early-Stage and Experienced Researchers

• Institutions / Research Infrastructures of transnational interest

• Organisations and researchers from third countries

• International organisations

• Civil society organisations

• Etc.

Industry–Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP)

• Scope: to enhance industry-academia cooperation in terms of research training,

career development and knowledge sharing, in particular with SMEs, and including

traditional manufacturing industries.

to strengthen longer term cooperation programmes with a high potential for

increasing mutual understanding of the different cultural settings and skill

requirements of both the industrial and academic sectors.

Exchange of know-how and experiences, Networking activities (workshops-

conferences), Recruitment of Researchers

• Participants: one or more research organizations (e.g. universities/research centers) and one or

more commercial enterprises, in particular SMEs.

there must be at least one participant from each of the two sectors and from at least

two different MS or AC.

• Eligible Researchers: Exchanged / seconded staff can be ESRs or ERs for 2 to 24 months Recruited staff must be ERs for 12 to 24 months


• Scope:

to strengthen research partnerships through staff exchanges and networking

activities between European research organizations and research

organizations from countries with which the European Union has an S&T

agreement or is in the process of negotiating one, and countries covered by the

European Neighborhood policy.

• Participants:

At least 2 independent participants established in at least 2 different MS / AC,

and one or more research organizations either located in countries with which

the European Union has or is in the process of negotiating an S&T agreement,

or in countries covered by the European Neighborhood Policy.

• Eligible Researchers: Researchers, technical and management staff For MS / AC Mobility should be towards other third country Exchanged staff should be guaranteed full reintegration and recognition of

mobility

Intra – European Fellowships (IEF)

• Scope:

to support the career development, or restart, of ERs at different stages of their

careers, and seeks to enhance their individual competence diversification in terms

of skill acquisition at multi- or interdisciplinary level and/or by undertaking

intersectoral experiences.

to support ERs in attaining and/or strengthening a leading independent position,

e.g. principal investigator, professor or other senior position in education or

enterprise.

The action may also assist researchers to resume a career in research after a

break.

• Participants and Eligible Researchers:

Financial support is provided for advanced training and transnational mobility, for

a period of 12 to 24 months (full-time equivalent), for individual projects presented

by ERs active in MS / AC in liaison with a host organization from another MS / AC.

The research topic will be chosen by the researcher in collaboration with the

host, with a view to achieving a diversification of competences and developing

his/her career in a European context.

Career Integration Grants (CIG)

• Scope:

to reinforce the European Research Area (ERA) by encouraging

researchers

to establish themselves in a MS / AC, thereby attracting and retaining the

best talents in Europe.

to support researchers in the first steps of their European research career

and to attain lasting professional integration in the ERA.

by providing researchers with a substantial research budget, the action is

intended to improve considerably their prospects for long term integration,

thus contributing to the success of their research career.


ERs complying with the mobility rule.

Up to 4 years.

Flat rate contribution of 25 000 EUR per ER and per year for the benefit

of the recruited ER, to contribute to his/her research costs at the career

integration host.


• Scope:

to reinforce the research excellence of MS / AC through

knowledge sharing with incoming top-class ERs active in an other

third country to work on research projects in Europe, with the view

to developing mutually beneficial

research co-operation between Europe and an other third country.

to encourage these ERs to plan their period of international

mobility within the framework of a coherent professional project

and thus enhances the possibility of future collaborative research

links with European researchers and organisations active in

research in their future research careers.


ERs complying with the mobility rule.


• Scope:

to reinforce the international dimension of the career of

European ERs by giving them the opportunity to be trained and

acquire new knowledge in a high-level organization active in

research, established in an other third country (outgoing

phase).

Subsequently, these ERs will return with the acquired

knowledge and experience to an organization in a MS / AC.


ERs.

financial support for up to 36 months to individual mobility

projects presented by ERs in liaison with host organizations in the

MS / AC.

...to summarize:

PEOPLE = eight Marie Curie Actions plus

“Researchers’ Night” and “Support to EURAXESS

Collaboration” Budget: 4.75 Billion € (2007-2013)

improving the human potential in European research and

development by covering all stages of a researcher's professional life

from initial training to lifelong learning and career development.
