International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF) International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF)
This action aims to reinforce the international dimension of the career of E h b i i th th t it t b t i d d European researchers by giving them the opportunity to be trained and acquire new knowledge in a high-level organisation active in research, established in an other third country (outgoing phase). Subsequently, these researchers will return with the acquired knowledge and experienceresearchers will return with the acquired knowledge and experienceto an organisation in a Member State or associated country.

International Incoming Fellowships (IIF)
Thi ti i t i f th h ll f th M b St t This action aims to reinforce the research excellence of the Member States and the associated countries through knowledge sharing with incoming top-class researchers active in an other third country to work on research projects in Europe, with the view to developing mutually p j p , p g ybeneficial research co-operation between Europe and another third country. It aims to encourage these researchers to plan their period of international mobility within the framework of a coherent professional project and thus enhances the possibility of future collaborative research project and thus enhances the possibility of future collaborative research links with European researchers and organisations active in research in their future research career.

Part A: administrative matters Part B: the proposals, structured after the evaluation criteria
(FOLLOW THE STRUCTURE!)( ) And also Ethics table in part B as well as up to three referees´ assessments on the
researcherWho should apply? You need a good track record You need a good and innovative research project You need a good and innovative research project You should have a good and dedicated host Be confident that your referees support you You must follow the guidelines
E l iEvaluation
The evaluators will judge your proposal on:
Science and technology Training (IEF/IOF) Researcher Implementation Impact Transfer of knowledge (IIF)
These are the headlines for the evaluation criteria. And they are weighted depending on action and And they are weighted depending on action, and have thresholds which vary.
H l dHow you are evaluated
You need to be between 4 and 5 on all criteria!

Allow for arguments being discussed repeatedly – from diff t ldifferent angles
Remember the objectives of the action
Do not take easy on Impact and Implementation!
Th f hThe aftermath
Everyone receives an evaluation summary report (ESR)( )
If your proposal is successful, you (the host, in fact) will be invited to negociations.
If negative, use the ESR and the proposal experience to reapply. Turn it into something
f h h b ll´ fpositive. Very few hit the bull´s eye on first attempt.
COFUNDed programmes
Funding organisation fellowship schemes from across Europe are cofunded by the Marie Curie COFUND action.
Experienced researchers (> 4 years/PhD) may apply to these organisations for individual fellowships.
