Why is there a People Programme?
Why a People programme?
Do we produceenough researchers?
Who producesthe researchers?
Are enough researchersstaying in research
Is research put into use as it should?
Where do they go?Industry?
Academia?US, Japan…?
Is research attractive enough?Are the researchers attractive enough?
Only at most 1/3 of PhDwill be able to establish a career in academia
2/3 willget a jobelsewhere
Why a People programme?
PEOPLE Programme
Two strands:1. Policy actions
• Researchers’ partnership
2. Marie Curie Actions• Initial Training Networks• Individual Fellowships• Reintegration• Industry Academia Partnerships and Pathways• Cofunding• …
Researchers’ partnershipfour key areas
• Open recruitment and portability of grants
• Meeting social security and supplementary pension needs of mobile researchers
• Attractive employment and working conditions
• Enhancing training, skills and experience of researchers
Researchers’ partnership1. open recruitment and grants
portabilityIssues:
• Open, competitive recruitment is essential for research system in pursuit of excellence
• Public sector recruitment in the EU is predominantly organised at national level, exibiting widespread internal recruitment at institutional level
• Current limitations on trans-national portability of individual grants by many national research funding agencies inhibits mobility
Researchers’ partnership2. social security and pension rights
Issues:
• Acquisition and transfer of social security benefits and pension rights among the most problematic areas
• In particular young researchers often have limited access to social security and pension benefits
• social security co-ordination rules may not fit usual researchers’ career paths (repeated short-term contracts
Researchers’ partnership3. employment and working
conditionsIssues:
• Employment policies within many public research institutions are often rigid, with widespread segmentation between protected « insiders » and unprotected « outsiders ». Flexicurity is highly relevant to better balance the situation for researchers
• Under-utilisation of end-of-career researchers
• Low priority overall for reconciling professional and private life
Researchers’ partnership 4. training and skills development
Issues:• many early-stage researchers are not receiving the right
set of skills to function effectively in modern academia or to make smooth intersectoral transitions
• Skills equipment is only partly a matter of formal training; the environment in which researchers are trained is also essential
• Also researchers at later stages need to keep in touch with the latest developments and being trained for new positions during their career (e.g. admin or leadership positions)
PEOPLE Marie Curie Actions in FP7
Overall scope• Human resource development in R&D in Europe • Numerous, well-trained, motivated researchers• Attract students to research careers• Attract researchers to Europe • Skills and sustainable career development• Continuity of previous Framework programme, with focus
on structuring impact, while simplifying
Initial training of researchersInitial Training Networks*

Mobility and career enhancement actions; Researchers’ nights; Excellence awards
* Open to third-country nationals
PEOPLE Marie Curie Actions in FP7
Objectives • Strengthen and structure Early Stage Training at
European level • Improve career perspectives by broad skills
development (including private sector needs)
Main features • International network of participants -at least three
participants established in at least three MS or Associated countries –Third countries organisations may participate if justified by the project
• Open to researchers from Third countries• Training programme with (i) training through
research (ii) complementary competences (structured training) modules
• Involvement of private sector
PEOPLE Initial Training of Researchers
Marie Curie Initial Training Networks
Objectives • Career development of experienced researchers by e.g.:
diversification skills/competencies; reintegrate after mobility/resume research (”significant step” in career)
Operated through: • Centralised mode: selection/funding of fellows through call at EC
level – Intra-European Fellowships IEF; European Reintegration Grants ERG
• « Co-funding » mode:– Selection of « co-funded » national, regional and international
programmes through open calls with clear evaluation criteria – Researchers apply for individual fellowships to the co-funded
programmes
PEOPLE Life-long training & career development:
Marie Curie fellowships for career development
Objective• Encourage knowledge sharing, cultural exchange
and sustainable cooperation between industry and academia (in particular SMEs)
Main features • Longer-term co-operation between academic and
commercial sectors• 2-way staff secondments / hosting of experienced
researchers from outside the partnership• Special measure to encourage SME participation• Open to researchers from outside Europe
PEOPLE Marie Curie Industry partnerships and pathways
PEOPLEInternational Dimension
Objectives: Reinforce the international dimension of the EU through human resources;
Operated through• Career Development/life-long training for EU researchers
– International Outgoing fellowships (IOF)– International Re-integration grants (IRG)
• International co-operation through researchers from third countries– International incoming fellowships (IIF)– International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES)
• Host actions (Initial training, Industry - Academia) open to third country nationals
