FP7 MCA Achievements

Marie Curie Actions

86% of the beneficiaries agreed that participation in MarieCurie projects has strengthened/will strengthen existingcollaborations with partner organisations.

Almost two thirds of the universities from theShanghai top 500 list participated in the host-driven in 2011. Nine out of ten Europeancompanies, investing the largest sums inresearch and development, participated in thehost-driven in 2010 and 2011.

92% of the ITN fellows considered the MarieCurie impact on their career prospects as“very good” or “good”.

It constitutes a break from the past

• A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives*

• Simplified access for all companies, universities, institutes inall EU countries and beyond

• Coupling research to innovation from research to retail, all forms of innovation

• Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health,clean energy and transport
