Guest Researcher Card

Since 1998Before 1998, before ERA-MORE indeed, the Kastler Foundation

was facing strong difficulties anticipating the mobility of researchers. We could not always be of help or came too late : they were already there, and we could hardly help them sort out their difficulties.

For improving our management of researchers mobility We needed the datas related with their scientific stay. We thus

decided to offer foreign mobile researchers a so-called Guest Researcher Card, that is to say a voluntary registration providing them with services especially negociated for guest researchers.

The Guest Researcher Card allows us to combine national services with regional ones.

Some difficulties too

The objectives are quite ambitious (ERA, ERA-MORE, Eracareers), but the financial support a bit lowToo much ot the weight of mobility currently depends on the involvement of the mobility centres network, which has other activities to handle on the one hand, and not enough financial support from the European Commission, from the French government, or from the French regions (Bottom-up, delegation)

Missing datas ?

Researchers with or without PhD: both statistic datas and qualitative evaluation of the scientific stays

Necessary coordination with the services and agencies already in charge of managing students mobility (CNOUS, EduFrance, Egide, etc.)

With ERA-MORE of course, in relation with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for their Recruitment 

First workshop in december ?
