Achievements of Marie Curie Actions (1996 - 2013)

60 000 fellows to date More than 10 000 PhD supported in FP7 Marie Curie researchers coming from all over the world Marie Curie host organisations in more than 80 countries 46 % of researchers coming to EU from industrialised countries stay in

Europe after the end of the IIF fellowship 38 % women participation in FP7 MCA, close to the 40% target Bridging the academia-business gap: ~8.000 secondments / recruitments

in ~750 FP7 MCA projects
