Individual driven actions Outgoing Fellowships World-wide up to 2 years outside Europe + up to 1 year return phase Incoming Fellowships World-wide Return phase possible if from emerging, transition or developing country Intra-European Fellowships Return and Reintegration Mechanisms

Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowships Researchers from EU and Associated States –Minimum 4 years experience or doctorate –Joint proposal by fellow and host institution To Third Countries Coherent project up to 3 years with 2 phases: –experience outside Europe up to 2 years and –obligatory return to Europe, typically half the duration of the 1st. phase  “valorisation” in Europe of experience gained  reinforce relations between EU and third countries

Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowships High level third country researchers –Minimum 4 years experience or doctorate –Joint proposal by fellow and host institution Towards Europe Return mechanism for researchers –from developing countries –from emerging and transition economies  reinforce the research potential of these countries  strengthen relations between the EU and third countries

Marie Curie Return and Reintegration of European Researchers having undertaken research outside Europe during at least 5 years Precise project evaluated on its intrinsic merits Up to 2 years funding for a 3 year contract –Research project (via host institution) Compensate partly for the brain drain
