8. Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions • It is the main programme for the professional development of PhDs; • The MSCA supports the development of the scientific career and the training of researchers from any discipline, emphasising mobility and the cooperation between companies and academia; • It offers funding for PhD students and postdocs in all stages of their scientific career, promoting transnational mobility, intersectorial and scientific discipline transition • Bottom-up approach Workprogramme: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/wp/2014_2015/main/h2020-wp1415-msca_en.pdf MSCA-IF Workshoponthe 26th June!

9. InnovativeTraining Networks • Objectives: • Increase PhD and Master’s students’ excellence; • Structure research and predoctoral training • Scope: PhD students • Expected impact: • Increase the potential of the predoctoral researchers providing them with new career and academic perspectives; • Achieve cooperation among participant institutions ResearchService May 2014

10. Individual Fellowships • Objective: increasethecreativity and innovativepotential of experiencedresearchers. • Scope: • Individual and transnationalactions that are awarded to the best researchers or those who are the most promising; • Focused on career development, not on experience; • CareerRestart Panel and Reintegration Panel. • Expectedimpact:extracting the full potential from researchers and achieve a significant leap in their careers, both in the academic and non-academic sectors.
