“Towards a European Research Area” (1/2000)(1/2000)- Need for more abundant and more mobile researchersNeed for more abundant and more mobile researchers- Mobility as an instrument for the transfer of scientific Mobility as an instrument for the transfer of scientific

“High Level Expert Group” on Improving Mobility to Researchers (6/2000 – 4/2001)
Policy Background (II)Policy Background (II)
June 2001 – March 2004
• 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 2/2003• Second implementation report 3/2004

The EU’s integrated strategy:
Increase EU funding for the training, mobility and career development of researchers; the Marie Curie Actions
Improve the environment for researchers in Europe by enhancing mobility and removing obstacles
Foster the career development of researchers
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….

Following from this strategy:
ERAMORE: The European network of mobility centres. Launched June 2004
ERACAREERS: The European Research Mobility Portal. launched July 2003
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

The European Network of mobility centres:
Launched June 2004 Network operational in 2005 Around 200 mobility centres in Europe and
numerous contact points National mobility centres are set up by the
national bridgehead organisation(s) appointed by the Research Ministry.

The European Network of mobility centres: Offers customized assistance to researchers
and their families before, during and after their move abroad
The aim of ERA MORE (II)The aim of ERA MORE (II)
Each Mobility Centre:
Acts as a point of entry for researchers looking for practical information and guidance
Fulfils its information and assistance task either by direct proximity assistance or by directing the person(s) concerned to the appropriate specialised centre

Charter and Code (I)Charter and Code (I)
Recommendation on the « European Researchers’ Charter and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers » adopted by the Commission on 11 March 2005http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/europeancharter
Huge differences in career structures in European countries
Fragmentation at local/regional/national level Protected, if not closed, non-transparent recruitment
procedures Lack of career development prospects
« Charter » as reference point for the career management of researchers as professionals, addressing both researchers and employers/funders on minimum rights and obligations
« Code of Conduct » as reference point for transparency and merit based recruitment, fair recognition of qualifications and mobility experiences
Implemented by MS and other actors on a voluntary basis
Charter and Code (II)Charter and Code (II)
““Scientific visa“ package visa“ package
Directive and two Recommendations aiming at the improvement of condition of admission of third Country Researchers in Europe (adopted by Council October 2005)
• Fast track procedure for researchers• Involvement of research organisations
(“hosting agreement”)
Transposition in national law ongoing
ERA-LinkERA-Link
Networking tool for European researchers in the US 3.000 registered researchers from 24 Member States Types of activity:
• networking of researchers, • information dissemination,• career fairs,• helping expatriate researchers to collaborate with colleagues
in Europe or to return to Europe.
ERA-Link website informs about:• sources of research funding in Europe, • research career opportunities in Europe, • conferences and training courses.
