  2. MCAs in FP7 Individual Fellowships Career Integration Grants Evaluation Criteria Agenda

  3. FP7 Marie Curie Actions= People Programme

  4. Features MCAs in FP7 • To develop human resources dedicated to research • To attract young talents into a research career • To support themobility of researchers of all nationalities in all scientific fields(bottom up approach) • To diversify researchers’ skills and competences • To provide attractive working conditions and better research career opportunities

  5. MCAs in FP7 Marie Curie researchers coming from all over the world (around130 nationalities)

  6. MCAs in FP7 Marie Curie host organisations in around 70 countries FP6 and FP7 Marie Curie host organisations 12 MAIN DESTINATIONS

  7. Bottom-up approach • Research topics are chosen freely by applicants Budget distribution by scientific panel (Marie Curie Actions 2007-2011) • 2007-2011 • EU contribution:~ €2 billion • Research projects funded:> 5000

  8. MCAs in FP7 • Around 60.000researchers financed since the creation of the Marie Curie Actions • More than 10.000 PhD supported in FP7 • 38% of women among FP7 MCA fellows • SMEs play a major role: they account for more than 50% of all businesses participating in IAPP and ITN • 50-60% of the budget dedicated to research on societal challenges

  9. Actions

  10. Who applies to what? Applicants Funding bodies Individual researchers Research Organisations Senior Post-docs (MER) > 10 years IEF IOF IIF IAPP IRSES COFUND Profile Post-docs (ER) > 4 years or PhD CIG Post-graduates (ESR) < 4 years ITN

  11. Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) 1 Objectives • To support the best and most promising researchers in their Europe-wide career • To enhance and maximise their contribution to the knowledge-based economy and society Expected impact • Career development of experienced researchers • Competence diversification – skills acquisition at multi-interdisciplinary level and/or inter-sectoral level • Attain a leading independent position • Resume a career in research after a break (Career Restart Panel- CAR)

  12. Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) 2

  13. Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) 3 CAREER RESTART PANEL • Encouraging researchers to return to research after a career break • No fellowship or employment in research for at least 12 months immediately prior to the call deadline • Modified mobility rule (3 years out of 5) • Multidisciplinary panel (CHE, SOC, ECO, ENG, ENV, LIF, MAT, PHY)

  14. International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF) 1 Objectives • To reinforce the international dimension of researchers’ careers • To transfer acquired knowledge to Member States (MS) and Associated Countries (AC) Expected impact • Significant advances in researchers' careers • Acquisition of complementary research competences • Reach a position of professional maturity

  15. International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF) 2

  16. International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF) 3 • Fellowships of 2 phases: • initial outgoing phase in a Third Country (1-2 years) • mandatory re-integration phase in EU or AC (1 year – return host) • Grant Agreement to be concluded with the host institution located in the MS or AC

  17. International Incoming Fellowships (IIF) 1 Objectives • To incoming top-class researchers active in a third country • To transfer knowledge through mutual beneficial research cooperation Expected impact • Significant advances in researchers' careers • Acquisition of complementary research competences • Attain a leading independent position

  18. International Incoming Fellowships (IIF) 2

  19. International Incoming Fellowships (IIF) 3 • Researchersmoving from a third country to MS or AC • Financial support for 12-24 months (possible return phase for ICPC – max 12 months; €15000 per researcher/year, Not subject to country correction coefficient)

  20. Funding rates (IEF, IOF, IIF) • Category 1: Monthly Living Allowance - €58,500 gross salary per ER / year x country coefficient (4-10 years) • - €87,500 gross salary per ER / year x country coefficient (>10 years) • Category 2: Mobility Allowance - €1,000 – €700 (family or not) per researcher month x country coefficient • Category 3: Contribution to Research, Τraining 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

  21. Career Integration Grants (CIG) 1 Objectives • To reinforce the ERA by encouraging researchers to establish themselves in a MS or AC • To attract and retain the best researchers in Europe Expected impact • Provide researchers with opportunities for long term research position in Europe • Reinforcement of the human research potential in the ERA • Increase knowledge transfer and trans-national cooperation for EU research organisations

  22. Career Integration Grants (CIG) 2 • For Experienced Researchers • Must have a PhD or at least 4 years of research experience • Researchers can be of any nationality • Researchers must move country to take up research job (must comply with Mobility Rule) • No nationalityrequirement => Possibletoreturntohome country • Duration of CIG: 24 – 48 months. • Host must offer full time research post for at least the duration of the CIG grant. • EU contribution: 25 000€/year (lump sum)

  23. Career Integration Grants (CIG) 3e Host perspective CIG can not be combined with • other Marie Curie Grants • other ”personal grants” (e.g. ERC grants) CIG funding as lump sum => for any type of costs of the proposed project • Part of salary of Researcher (or other people working on project) • Equipment, consumables, travel • Overhead, management costs • Etc

  28. Hints for a successful proposal (1) • The evaluators may not all be world experts in exactly the area of your proposal – avoid using very specific jargon and acronyms • Provide the evaluators with evidence for your claims, but avoid external resources (links to websites etc.) • Graphics and charts can be very helpful, but don’t overdo it!

  29. Hints for a successful proposal (2) • Always read the Guide for Applicants when applying, follow the given template • Ensure you meet the minimum eligibility requirements • Good match between fellow(s) and Host • Very good Research Project/Programme (+ Training/Transfer of Knowledge…) • Structure and organize the information well • Be precise, less is sometime more… • Impartial view…ask your colleagues, friend to read it before… • Start with EPSS as soon as possible • administrative data (part A forms) • first draft of proposal (part B)
