  2. How HRM fits into the6th Framework Programme (2003-6)

  3. Marie Curie actions • Objectives: “Aimed at the development and transfer of research competencies, the consolidation and widening of researchers' career prospects, and the promotion of excellence in European research” • Based on 3 main concepts: Mobility, Career development, Training • “Bottom-up" approach i.e. all fields of science and technological interest for the European Community (no priority areas)

  4. Other main Features • Common approach based on financing international mobility for researchers • Opportunities provided for researchers at all stages of their career • Eligibility for researchers depends on the years of experience (not age) • Mechanisms for return and professional reintegration (“counter brain drain”) • Promotion of female participation • Open to non-European researchers

  5. Which organisations and which researchers can participate? • Organisations: All types can take part in MC Actions: • Public research organisations (universities, research institutes) • Commercial enterprises, especially Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME’s); • Non-profit organisations (hospitals, NGOs, etc); • International European Interest Organisations (EUI, Florence); • International Organisations (e.g. WHO, UNESCO) • Early-stage Researchers • at the beginning of their career; • < 4 years of active research experience (e.g. researchers undertaking a doctoral degree); • Experienced Researchers • at least 4 years of active research experience; • or, have obtained a doctoral degree;

  6. Overview of the 12 MC Actions Profile ofFellows Chairs Teams Awards Advanced Lifelong Training and Excellence InternationalFellowships (OIF/ IIF) Intra-EuropeanFellowships (EIF)  4 yearsexperience or Ph.D. Development actions Industry-Academia partnership Host Fellowships for Transfer of Knowledge Return & Reintegration (ERG/IRG) Research Training Networks (RTN) < 4 yearsexperience Conferences and Training Courses (SCF) Early-Stage Training Host Fellowships for Early-Stage (EST)

  7. Structure of HRM activities • Host driven actions: Conferences (SCF /LCF), RTN, ToK, EST • Individual driven actions : EIF, OIF, IIF • Excellence Promotion and recognition: Grants (Teams), Chairs, Awards • Return and reintegration mechanisms

  8. Initial training: Host Fellowships for Early Stage Researchers (EST) • Aim:Acquisition of scientific and technical competencies and other complementary skills (research management, etc) • Hosts: Single or Multi-partner (min 3 teams in 3 countries) • Researchers:Early stage researchers (typically during PhD) • Funding: • Host – Funding for researcher networking, organisation of the project; audit and management costs (max 3%), overheads (10%) • Researcher – living, mobility, career exploratory allowance • Duration:3 months to 3 years, possibility to gain PhD

  9. Series of Conferences and Training Courses (SCF) • Aim:To support a coherent series of conferences, training courses, summer schools, laboratory courses, workshops, etc. on one or several themes proposed by one or several organizers • Target: Early stage + more experienced researchers (up to 10 years experience) interested to training purposes • Funding: • Researchers – travel and subsistence, attendance fees • Hosts – organizational expenses, management activities (max 7%), equipment where necessary • Duration:Few days up to several weeks (each series takes place over a period of 4 years, with at least 4 events)

  10. Research Training Networks (RTN) • Aim:Trans-national networks with common research project as a vehicle to provide training and transfer of knowledge. • Researchers:Early stage and experienced (up to 10 years) • Host: Teams from at least 3 MS or AS (at least 2 MS) • Funding: • Researcher – living, mobility, career exploratory allowances • Host – funding for researcher networking, general organisation of the project, audit and management costs (max 7%), overheads (10%), some equipment costs • Duration:Fellowships from 3 months - 3 years; 4 year network

  11. Host Fellowships for the Transfer of Knowledge (ToK) • Aim:To promote exchange between academia and industry and help develop competencies in less favoured regions of the EU • Researchers:Experienced researchers (>4 years or PhD) • Funding: • Industry-Academic Strategic Partnership :Team of at least 1+1 partners (salary costs, management costs) • Seconded Staff:living, mobility allowances and travel costs, host receives management costs (max 3%), overheads (10%) • Hosted researchers : living, mobility, career exploration allowances and travel costs, project expenses • Duration:Appointments of up to 2 years

  12. Intra-European Fellowships (EIF) • Aim:To respond to the individual advanced training needs of the most promising researchers & to give them the necessary boost to become fully independent in their field • Funding: • Researchers: Living, travel and mobility costs, career exploratory allowance. Costs for training and research costs • Hosts: Management costs (max 3%), Overheads (10%) • Duration: Researcher appointed for 12-24 months

  13. International Fellowships • MC Outgoing International Fellowships (OIF) • Up to 3 years appointment for EU/AS experienced researchers to work in a Third Country research centre (2 years +1 year compulsory return) • 2. MC Incoming International Fellowships (IIF) • Aimed at ‘top-class’ researchers from Third Countries to work in a European research centre (2 years + possible return) • Funding: • Fellows : salary, travel and mobility costs, career exploratory allowance. Costs for training and research costs (managed by host) • Hosts: Management costs (max 3%), Overheads (10%)

  14. Promotion and Recognitionof Scientific Excellence • 3 initiatives have been set up to capitalize on the best achievements of world-class researchers and to help them achieve professional autonomy (EXT, EXC, EXA) • The goal is to increase the visibility and attractiveness of research as a career option and to promote results to the scientific community. • These measures also encourage world-class European researchers who have moved to other countries to resume their career in Europe (counter brain drain)

  15. Marie Curie Grants or Teams (EXT) • Aim:to create (or develop) high level teams around a researcher having the potential to reach a very high level of excellence • to enable Team leaders to evolve more rapidly towards professional autonomy. • Leading edge or multi-disciplinary research • Funding: • Researchers (team leader/members): Living, travel and mobility costs. • Hosts: Costs for training, research & transfer of knowledge costs, Management costs (max 3%), Overheads (20%), durable equipment if necessary. • Duration: maximum 4 years. •  Trans-national mobility not required

  16. Marie Curie Chairs (EXC) • Aim:Building of new university Chairs to enable world-level researchers to let other European researchers benefit from their knowledge. • To reinforce the training and research capacities in Europe. • To attract world-level researchers who left Europe. Teaching/research/supervision of PhDs for 1 to 3 academic years • Funding: • Researchers: Living, travel and mobility costs. • Hosts: Costs for training and for research costs, Management costs (max 3%), Overheads (10%), durable equipment if necessary. • Duration: Researcher appointed for 12-36 months

  17. Marie Curie Awards (EXA) • Aim:A prize to give recognition to the high level of excellence achieved by former beneficiaries of Community training and mobility actions • Prize money of 50,000 € per award • Award winners are expected to take part in public events promoting the take-up and visibility of European research

  18. MC Excellence projects in Astronomy SWIFT (Oxford) ASTROSTAT (Portsmouth) IGM Enrichment (Leiden) CIFIST (Paris Obs.)

  19. RESEARCHERS: Research freedom /ethical principles Professional responsibility and contractual obligation Accountability Dissemination, exploitation of results Supervision/managerial duties Continuing professional development EMPLOYERS /FUNDING BODIES: Working conditions, stability of employment, salaries Value of mobility Career development Gender issues Intellectual Property Rights Co-authorship Teaching Appraisal systems Participation in decision making bodies The European Charter for Researchers

  20. Marie Curie Actions FP7 (2007-13) Overall scope • Human resource development in R&D in Europe • Numerous, well-trained, motivated researchers • Attract researchers to Europe and retain • Attract students to research career • Skills and sustainable career development • Continuity of previous Framework programme
