  1. Zorica Korac, REC Kopaonik, 12. March 2007. WEB MOB Development of Researchers Mobility Policy Guidelines for the Region of Western Balkans

  2. SIXTH FRAMEWORKPROGRAMME FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT (FP6)European Commission The main focus of FP6 is the creation of a European Research Area as a vision for thefuture of research in Europe.

  3. ERA aims at scientific excellence, improved competitiveness andinnovation through the promotion of increased co-operation, greater complementarity andimproved co-ordination between relevant actors, at all levels.

  4. WEB MOBDevelopment of Researchers Mobility Policy Guidelines for the Region of Western Balkans • Objectives • Main activities • Partners • Stakeholders and beneficiers • Main delverables • Impact

  5. Objectives • The project will identify the existing obstacles concerning the incoming mobility of Researchers in Western Balkan Countries. • Create synergies acting in close cooperation and complementary to the ERA-MORE Network to attract researchers in the region or to direct them within Europe

  6. Main activities • Review of the existing mobility policies in EU and in the WBC 2. Mapping exercise to identify research and academic organizations capable of attracting researchers, focal points within ministries, governmental organizations, local authorities, professional associations and chambers capable of offering information or assistance in matters of overcoming mobility obstacles, web addresses providing information for job opportunities, salaries, taxation schemes, national legislation in relation to mobility, visa requirements, work permits, social security, pension rights, etc.

  7. Main activities 3. Preparation of Mobility guides addressed to incoming researchers containing useful information relative to all aforementioned topics • Awareness activities focused on specific target groups that are the main stakeholders, like academics, governmental bodies, public services and local or regional authorities. • Preparation of mobility guidelines addressed to decision makers • Development of the WEB-MOB portal

  8. WEB-MOB PARTNERS Centre for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece (CERTH) University of Nis, Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Serbia (MEF) Regional Environmental Center and Eastern Europe Country Office and Serbia and Montenegro, Serbia (REC) Geographic Studies Centre, Albania (GSC) Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Research Center for Energy, Informaticsand Materials,, FYR of Macedonia (ICEIM-MANU) Hydro-Engineering Institute Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (HEIS) Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb, Croatia (FSB-UZ)

  9. The main deliverables • Mapping exercise results • Review report of the existing mobility policy in WBC • Mobility guidelines report • WEB-MOB Portal

  10. WEB-MOB PORTAL

  11. Impact The expected benefits are: • The preparation of mobility guidelines useful to national governments for the formulation of common policy in terms of enhancing researchers mobility and to eliminate mobility barriers in the region. • To increase attractiveness of Western Balkan region for the mobile researchers. • European Commission will have a clearer image of the obstacles which incoming mobile researchers are facing in the region.
