  3. Objectives People Programme People programme = Marie Curie Actions Dedicated programme for structuring training, mobility and career development of researchers Objectives & characteristics: • Strengthening the human potential in R&D in Europe • Stimulate people to enter into the profession of researcher & Encouraging researchers to stay in Europe • Building connections with researchers from around the world • Open to all domains of research (bottom-up approach) & All stages of researchers, from PhD to experienced • Trans-national and intersectorial (industry-academia) mobility • Budget covers (in general) salaries of researchers, mobility & family costs, contributions to research costs

  4. A Marie Curie Actions for each need

  5. Senior researchers > 10 years Post-docs > 4 years Profile of researchers Post-graduates < 4 years A Marie Curie Actions for each need Applicant organisations Individual researchers Industry/Research Institutions Public bodies IEF OIF IIF ERG IRG IAPP COFUND IRSES ITN

  6. RESEARCHERS: Research freedom (within contractual framework) Ethical principles Professional responsibility, contractual obligation, accountability Dissemination, exploitation of results, public awareness Supervision/managerial duties Continuing professional development EMPLOYERS/FUNDERS : Working conditions, stability of employment, salaries Value of mobility Career development/ Appraisal system/ Continuous training/ Career advise Non-discrimination/Gender balance Intellectual Property Rights, Co-authorship Teaching Participation in decision making bodies European Charter for Researchers

  7. Marie Curie Actions: more than just a a financial instrument • Respect European researchers charter • Working conditions • Supervision conditions • Career development plan • Own research /conference attendance budget • Employment conditions • Social security • Pension funds • Family situation • Family specific allowances • Interruption of stays/part-time • Fellowships for career restart • Additional Contributions for maternity leaves

  8. People programme:part of broader strategy EC Communication “Better careers and more mobility: the European partnership for researchers” • Built on past EC actions (Charter & Code, Euraxess, Mobility portal), where progress is slow • Objective: world class research system through partnership between Commission and Member States • systematically open recruitment; • meet the social security and supplementary pensions needs of mobile researchers; • provide attractive employment and working conditions; and • enhance the training, skills and experience of researchers. • … alongside renewed efforts on existing initiatives such as take-up of the principles of the Charter and Code

  9. People programme:Thoughts for the future… • Increased involvement of national players: the case of COFUND • Intersectoral mobility & involvement of industry – is enough done? • Career restart – unused potential? • Fellowships: beyond scientific deliverables, i.e outreach, communication • IRSES – a role model for intra-European cooperation • Positioning of Marie Curie versus Erasmus Mundus/ERC
