People - Marie Curie Actions FP7

Overall scope

Part of integrated Human resource development policy in EU R&D

Attract/retain numerous, well-trained, motivated researchers in EU

Attract students to research careers

Development of Skills and of sustainable career

Continuity of previous Framework programme, with focus on structuring impact, while simplifying

Appropriate gender balance

Increased private sector participation and international dimension


* Open to third-country nationals

People – Marie Curie Actions

Initial training of researches (Marie Curie) Networks for Early Stage Researchers *

Life-long training and career development Individual Fellowships Co-funding of regional, national and international programs

Industry-academia pathways and partnerships Industry-Academia partnership Scheme*

International dimension Outgoing & Incoming International Fellowships International Cooperation Scheme Reintegration grants Support to researcher ‘diasporas’

Specific actions Mobility and career enhancement actions Excellence awards


Initial Training:Marie Curie Networks for Early Stage Training

Objectives

Strengthen and structure Early Stage Training at European level

Attract to scientific careers

Improve career perspectives by broad skills development (including industrial needs)


Initial Training:Marie Curie Networks for Early Stage Training

Main features

International network of participants or international cooperation in research training

Industry involvement

Joint Training Programme with (i) training through research (ii) complementary competences modules

Coherent quality standards/mutual recognition of training/diplomas

Allowances for ‘early-stage’ researchers and “Chair” positions; Contribution to training costs; Short training events open to also researchers from outside the network


Life-long Training and Career Development Marie Curie Individual Fellowships

Objectives

Support competence diversification and career development of experienced researchers

Greater impact by co-funding (inter)national fellowship programmes with same objectives and replying to specific conditions (i.e. transnational mobility; peer review selection of fellows; minimum social security coverage for fellows)


Life-long Training and Career Development Marie Curie Individual Fellowships

Main features

‘Classic’ mode: selection/funding of individual fellows through EC calls

‘Co-funding’ mode: Selection of ‘co-funded’ regional, national, international programs through

open calls with excellence-based evaluation criteria (no nationality quota) Selected programmes operated in full autonomy by co-funding body Community funding proportional to

• (i) Global programme budget

• (ii) Number of fellows selected complying with the trans-nationality criteria


Marie Curie Industry-academia partnerships and pathways

Objectives

Increased industry-academia cooperation

Diverse career possibilities and research experience for researchers

Increasing the industry involvement in all Marie Curie Actions

Knowledge sharing/cultural exchange, in particular SMEs


Marie Curie Industry-academia partnerships and pathways

Industry-academia knowledge-sharing scheme

Embedded in longer-term co-operation between both sectors

Two-way staff secondments/recruitment of experienced researchers from outside the partnership

Organisation of common workshops/conferences, including for researchers from outside the partnership

Salary costs of seconded researchers/recruited experienced researchers

Special measure: specific equipment costs for SMEs


Marie Curie International dimension

Objectives

Reinforce the international (extra-European) dimensionof the European Research Area as fundamental componentof the EU’s human resources in R&D

Build sustainable connections through mobile researchers


Marie Curie International dimension

Main features Career development/life-long training for EU researchers:

• Outgoing fellowships, with mandatory return

• Return and reintegration for European researchers abroad

International co-operation through researchersfrom third countries:

• All Marie Curie host driven actions open to third country nationals

• Incoming fellowships for knowledge enhancement and collaboration enrichment (optional return for researchers from certain areas)

• International cooperation scheme with EU neighbouring countries and S&T agreement countries

• Support to ‘scientific diasporas’ of Europeans abroad and foreigners within Europe


Specific Actions for Policy Development

Implementation of the Mobility Strategy

Enhancement of researchers’ careers and profession

Public awareness, including Marie Curie Awards


Participation of Women in Marie Curie Actions

Objectives

No separate action but integrated in all actions

> 40% female participation in Marie Curie actions

Strong promotion, but no positive discrimination

Support resumption after career break

Family-friendly implementation modalities,e.g. family allowances; flexibility for split stays
