Your research career in Europe

Marie Curie ActionsMarie Curie Actions

As a researcher I want to…

… undertake a project in Europe

… spend my time at the leading labs in Europe

…be part of a well-established and prestigious programme

… benefit from good working conditions


Maybe I want to…

… work with businesses

… be part of a short-term exchange

… bring a researcher from Europe at no cost to my employer


Marie Curie Actions

• … are a significant EU fellowships programme since the early 1990s

• … support the mobility, training and career development of researchers of all nationalities

• … fund all domains of research (bottom-up approach) and the financing rate is 100%


# of US host organisations (International Outgoing Fellowships): 465# of US participations in International Research Staff Exchange Schemes: 125


Depends on experience and type of mobility

Which actions are suited for me?


Support for two categories of researchers:

Early Stage Researcher: Less than 4 years of research experience and without a doctoral degree ("pre-doc")

Experienced Researcher: In possession of a doctoral degree or at least 4 years of research experience ("post-doc”)


Support for three types of mobility:

Incoming: moving from outside Europe into Europe

IntraEuropean: moving within Europe

Outgoing: moving from Europe to a country outside of Europe – NB compulsory return phase of one year (fully funded)


2 ways to be supported:

• Apply for your own fellowship

• or

• Apply to a project


1. Apply for your own fellowship

Post Doc level


Post-doctoral fellowships for outstanding researchers

For experienced researchers

•In possession of a doctoral degree, or have 4 years of full-time research experience at the time of the call deadline

•Fellowships of 12 to 24 or 36 months

•Three types depending on the mobility of the researcher

IEF - Intra-European Fellowships

IOF - International Outgoing Fellowships

IIF - International Incoming Fellowships


IIF: Fellowships for top- class researchers from anywhere in the world to come to Europe to transfer knowledge through mutual beneficial research cooperation

Objectives:

•Significant advances in such researchers' careers

•Acquisition of complementary research competences at an advanced level

•Help attain a leading independent position

•Building international research relations


IIF Researchers:

•International mobility to Member States (MS) and Associated Countries (AC) from a third country

•Experienced researchers of any nationality

•In possession of a doctoral degree, or have 4 years of full-time research experience at the time of the call deadline

•Normally researchers with a more senior profile

•Possible Return Phase for researchers from International Cooperation Partnership Countries


IIF Mobility:

•Applicants must comply with the rules for mobility:

• They must demonstrate mobility from a third country

• They must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of the host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the call deadline

coefficient

Category 3: Contribution to Research, training and Transfer of Knowledge- € 800 per researcher month- Flat-rate cost category

Category 5: Overheads (and management)

- € 700 per researcher month x country coefficient - Flat-rate cost category


Career Integration Grants (CIG)

…2013 is your last chance to apply


Objectives:•Encouraging researchers to establish themselves in a Member State or in an Associated country, for example after a period of mobility•The action is designed to provide researchers who have been offered a stable position and who are considering establishing themselves in Europe with their own research budget, thus contributing to the scientific success of their research career

Profile of the researchers:Experienced Researchers of any nationality; must comply with the rule for mobility

Profile of the host organisations:Universities, research centres, enterprises including SMEs etc. located in a Member State or Associated Country


Financial support for a period of 24 up to 48 months (full time equivalent) for a professional career integration project presented by an ER in liaison with a host organisation in a Member State or Associated country

The contribution is a flat rate of 25 000 EUR per researcher and per year to contribute to the research costs of the researcher at the host organisation

CIG Financial regime


Cofunding of Regional, National and International Programmes (COFUND)


Objectives:•To encourage existing or new regional or national fellowship programmes to open up to and provide for trans-national mobility, as well as to reinforce international programmes•These programmes must run an open, merit-based competition for the applying researchers, and be founded on international peer-review

Profile of the researchers supported:Researchers supported under the programmes co-funded in the frame of this action must comply with the definition of experienced researchers and of trans-national mobility


How does COFUND work?

•Funding bodies or organisations apply to the EU for funding

•Fellows apply directly to the calls issued by the COFUNDed organisation

•All calls published on Marie Curie Actions website
