EU Marie Curie Actions:
approach for excellent doctoral training
CEICS Forum 2011, Tarragona, 9 November 2011

“By bridging education and research, and reaching out to industry,
Marie Curie Actions are a strong enabler for at least three of these flagships
– the Innovation Union, Youth on the Move and
the Agenda for new skills and jobs.”President Barroso, 10 December 2010

• e.g. Intersectoral dimension can be addressed by:
Inviting researchers working in industry or other socio-economic actors to deliver courses on entrepreneurship, exploitation of research results, ethics, patenting, etc;
Mentoring of doctoral candidates by researchers and/or experts from industry or from other socio-economic actors;
Exposing researchers to various socio-economic actors gathered in a single campus or hub;
Offering placement opportunities for several weeks or months to young researchers to develop their research projects at the premises of future employers.

e.g. International dimension can be addressed by:
Offering possibilities to take courses abroad;
Developing partnerships and/or joint degrees with other research institutions or companies in different countries;
e.g. Interdisciplinary dimension can be addressed by:
Proposing common courses or projects to doctoral candidates from different disciplines;
Bringing together doctoral candidates in multi-disciplinary projects involving different research teams from the same or different institutions;
Offering possibilities of laboratory rotations or visits.

European Industrial Doctorates
A.Vassiliou, 10 December 2010:
“I believe we need to launch, within Marie Curie, a European Industrial doctorate
Scheme. Indeed, University-led research and innovation has marked up huge
successes in many parts of the Union. But partnerships with business are more
than markets for new ideas. They help researchers develop the business flair that
turns research into a commercial proposition. And they make the walls between
education and business more permeable: if people can forge careers that move in
and out of the two worlds, knowledge and know-how really will transfer across.”
