4 Policy Introduction- The German Presidency Angela Merkel, the President of the EU, was very clear in her talk to the EU Parliament a month ago Creating the conditions of growth for Europe means “Technology, Talents, Tolerance” The quote of the three Ts is taken from Richard Florida, an American expert on regional economics …and “People”, the Marie Curie Actions, will continue to actively contribute to create these conditions in Europe

5 Mobility of researchers across the 33 countries associated to the FP is a condition to make the European Research Area (ERA) functioning. Europe needs to build excellent research careers and link them to EU research initiatives. From the traditional concept of “brain drain” versus “brain gain” to the acknowledgement of the fact that excellent science careers are international - “brain circulation or “brain exchange”. From a “Mobility” programme to an active “career development” programme acquiring additional qualifications and targeted trainings through transnational mobility. The Policy context: Human resources in R&D
6
6 FP7 → Significant Budget increase The “PEOPLE” programme will receive 4,7 bn € under FP7 over 7 years How to cope with this budget increase: Administration: 6Outsourcing of the People Programme into an executive agency: More staff to follow the individual contracts – better response From individual fellowships to co-funding of programmes: More structural impact
7
7 Guiding Principles: Continuity of FP6, with focus on structuring impact increased private sector participation Strengthened international dimension Balanced gender objective, also reintegration No thematic priorities II.

9 No individual fellowships but Trans-national networks Linking training programmes of high quality standards together - with mutual recognition of their trainings and diplomas Allowances for “early-stage” ( up to four years after graduation) researchers and senior « visiting scientists » positions; Containing short training events (conferences, summer schools, training courses), also open to researchers from outside the network Direct or indirect involvement of private business sector 1. Initial training: Marie Curie Networks for early stage training 1. Initial training: Marie Curie Networks for early stage training
10
10 In two modes 1.Traditional mode: selection/funding of fellows through call at EC level 2.New « Co-funding » mode: Selection for « co-funding » of existing or new national, regional and international fellowship programmes Normal call with clear evaluation criteria (no country quota) Minimal conditions for programmes: trans-national ; selection of fellows based on peer review; minimum social security coverage Researchers apply to the co-funded national programmes; programmes operate following own standards Community funding: % of fellowship costs of trans-national researchers; contribution to overhead costs 2.

11 Comparison ERC «Advanced Grants » – Marie Curie « Individual fellowships » Marie Curie for additional career elements MC has temporary nature (max 2 years) MC fellowship for researcher alone Mobility requirement for MC only ERC to stimulate frontier research projects led by a “Principle Investigator” ERC aims at longer term integration (up to 5 years) ERC grant for whole research team Common objectives for Marie Curie and ERC : Support for career development No target in subjects, all topics may be addressed, address individual experienced researchers Differences between Marie Curie and ERC :
12
12 Enhance sustainable cooperation between both sectors on joint project 2-way staff secondments / hosting of experienced researchers from outside the partnership Organisation of workshops/conferences, including for researchers from outside the partnership Special measure: equipment costs for SMEs 3. Marie Curie Industry partnerships and pathways
13
13 Two action lines: 1.Career development/life-long training for EU researchers : Outgoing individual fellowships, with return fellowship Return and reintegration for European researchers abroad 4. Marie Curie International dimension 1
14
14 4. Marie Curie International dimension 2 2.International co-operation with researchers from 3rd countries : All Marie Curie host driven actions open to 3rd country nationals Incoming individual fellowships to Europe with optional return for researchers from less developed economies In preparation: Staff exchange scheme
15
15 Staff exchange scheme In preparation Co-funding of exchange programmes between Europe and 3 rd countries Only for EU neighbouring countries and S&T agreement countries Single programme for one country? Coordination of the existing fellowship programmes to Europe
16
16 Through Calls for Proposals 1.Researchers’ Night 2.Marie Curie Awards (five prizes per year) 3.Trans-national collaboration among ERA- MORE members 4.Trans-national cooperation among National Contact Points 5. Implementation of Marie Curie “Specific Actions”

21 2. ERA-More “Help Desk and Customised assistance” ERA-MORE, the European Network of Mobility Centres. The network displayed on the portal As a researcher you have free access to a Europe wide customised assistance service offered by ERA-MORE These 200 centres in 32 countries assist researchers in all matters relating to professional and daily life, including information on legal issues, social security, health and taxes, everyday life as well as family support. Click on the country you are interested in to contact the local Mobility Centre.

22 3. ERA link – A model network of European researchers, scientists and scholars in the US A multidisciplinary network of researchers abroad ensuring that they are also recognized as an important resource for the European Research Area, researchers at all stages of their careers whether they remain in the their present country or choose to return. The ERA-Link network reinforces research, information, support and collaboration across and with Europe.
23
23 What is ERA-Link? It provides information about research in Europe, European research policy, opportunities for research funding, for international collaboration and for trans-national mobility. Membership is free.

29 3. "Scientific visa" A European Directive (adopted by Council October 2005) to set up a specific procedure for admitting third-country researchers coming into Europe to carry out a research project. The main concept is to create a specific residence permit for foreign researchers independently from their contractual status (employee, self-employed, "stipendee"). In the new system, a non-EU researcher wishing to carry out a research project in Europe will have to sign a "hosting agreement" with an accredited public or private European research organisation.
30
30 Hosting Agreement The "hosting agreement" is a contract specifying the researcher's status as well as his/her possession of the necessary scientific skills, financial means and health insurance. On the basis of that contract, and provided that the researcher fulfils some standard conditions (e.g. absence of threat to public policy, health and security, possession of valid travel document) the immigration authorities of the host country will rapidly deliver the residence permit.
