Program ima slijedeće ciljeve:•Ojačati kvalitativno i kvantitativno europski ljudski potencijal u istraživanju i tehnologiji•Povećati mobilnost istraživača•Dati istraživačima perspektive za razvoj cjeloživotne karijere•Poticati europske istraživače da ostanu u Europi•Privući najbolje istraživače iz cijelog svijeta u Europu

The People Programme in its wider policy context

Ultimate goal: an open, competitive and attractive Europe for researchers

In summary three broad objectives:

1. Create conditions for researchers to be mobile without obstacles

2. Enhance status and attractiveness of a career in Europe

3. Finance researchers’ training, mobility and career development

6

1.Breaking down obstacles to mobility

2005 Commission Recommendation on the « European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for theirRecruitment» http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/europeancharter

Framework for MS, employers and funders of research to remedy:– Huge differences in career structures in European

countries– Non-transparent recruitment procedures– Lack of career development prospects

Impact on FP7Impact on FP7:Charter and Code will be addressed at the evaluation evaluation phasephase in the "People" Programme and at the contract contract negotiation stagenegotiation stage in other Specific Programmes

2. Attractiveness of a career in Europe

What are host actions?• Initial Training Networks (ITN) and

Industry-Academia Pathways and Partnerships (IAPP) are host actions:– consortium of various institutions applies consortium of various institutions applies

for funding for funding – successful institutions advertise positions and

select fellows/researchers themselves– contract duration of consortium 3 – 4 years– stays of individual researchers 3 – 36 months

for ITN, 2 – 24 months for IAPP

16

What are individual actions?• Intra-European/International Fellowships /

Reintegration Grants are individual actions:– individual researcher applies jointly with individual researcher applies jointly with

host institutionhost institution– duration at least 1 year for fellowships, 2 years

for reintegration grants– Fellowship/grant bound to individual (no

replacement)

17

What institutions can take part?• Organisations that are actively involved actively involved

in research and/or research trainingin research and/or research training::– Universities/Institutes of Technology – private and public research institutes– companies big and small– NGO’s– etc.

• More than 140 International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC)– additional partners, can receive full funding

• Other Third Countries (OTC) – additional partners, generally not funded

19

development in any third country institution– mandatory return phase (1 year) in distinct legal entity

in MS/AC for reintegration and knowledge transfer

• Contract is with the return host (responsible for return of the fellow)

• Mobility is a mustMobility is a must

33

Incoming International Fellowships• To reinforce scientific excellence of MS/AC

by attracting top-class experienced third country researchers (not assimilated to MS/AC nationals)

• Enhance possibility for future collaborations• One or two phases:

– incoming phase (1 – 2 years) in any MS/AC (fellowship)– optional return phase (1 year) if researcher is from an

ICPC country (€15,000/year towards research costs)

• Contracts with European and return host• Mobility is a mustMobility is a must

34

– have been active in a third country for at have been active in a third country for at least 3 years least 3 years

– have not spent more than 12 months in a MS/AC within the last 3 years

– are not employed in research in MS/AC at the deadline for submission of proposals

• Support to the longer-term (re-)integration in any MS/AC institution:– contribution to the research and/or salary costs
