People - FP7Under the "People" programme, individuals should be stimulated to enter into the

profession of researcher, European researchers should be encouraged to stay in Europe, researchers from the entire world should be attracted to Europe and Europe should be made more attractive to the best researchers. Building on the positive experiences with the "Marie Curie Actions" under previous Framework Programmes, the "People" programme should encourage individuals to enter the profession of researcher; structure the research training offer and options; encourage European researchers to stay in, or return to, Europe; encourage intersectoral mobility, and attract researchers from all over the world to Europe. The mobility of researchers is key not only to the career development of researchers but also to the sharing and transfer of knowledge between countries and sectors and to ensuring that innovative frontier research in various disciplines benefits from dedicated and competent researchers, as well as increased financial resources.

Initial Training Networks (ITN)

Aims to improve career perspectives of early stage researchers in both public & private sector

Structuring the Initial Training of Researchers at EU level :

International Networks of Participants Mutual recognition of Training/Degrees Opening training events to external researchers Complementary skills: entrepreneurship, management,

IPR, grant writing, communication

Participant rules :

Generally at least 3 participants : Universities, research centres, companies, SMEs

Typically located in at least 3 different MS/AC Involvement of private sector

Initial Training Networks (ITN)

Eligible researchers : Nationals from any country Mainly early-stage researchers Experienced researchers Visiting scientists (experienced researchers)

Community Contribution : Salaries of recruited researchers/visiting scientists Research and networking costs Organization of training events open to external researchers

Objectives : Foster co-operation between non-commercial research organisations &

commercial enterprises based on joint research projects Stimulate long-term collaboration between sectors through secondment

of staff Diverse career possibilities & research experience for researchers,

knowledge sharing/cultural exchangeParticipant rules : At least 1 partner from commercial & 1 partner from non-commercial sector Located in at least 2 different MS/AC Additional partners from any sector and from any other country

Industry–Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP)

Aims to open and foster dynamic pathways between public research organisations and private commercial enterprises

Industry–Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP)

Eligible researchers :

Staff exchange – secondments : 2 to 24 months. Any level of experience, incl. technical & managerial staff. Exchange always between sectors (and usually countries). Obligatory return for at least 1 year

Recruitment (optional) : 12 to 24 months. Only experienced researchers (post-docs). Mobility requirement

Community contribution :

Staff secondments and recruitment of experienced researchers (optional)

Research and networking costs Specific small equipment for SMEs: <10% total contribution

Intersectorial mobility and skills exchange : Staff secondments is the key element
