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
Marie Curie ActionsMarie Curie Actions
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 ActionsMarie Curie Actions
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%

Depends on experience and type of mobility
Which actions are suited for me?
Marie Curie ActionsMarie Curie Actions
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")
*counted from the time when the individual is entitled to embark on a doctoral degree
All scientific and technological fields are supported!
Marie Curie ActionsMarie Curie Actions
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)

Career Integration Grants (CIG)
Marie Curie ActionsMarie Curie Actions
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
Marie Curie ActionsMarie Curie Actions
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
