People - FP7

Under 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;

training offer and options structure the research

; 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.

   

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)

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

  

Objectives :

   Foster co-operation between

commercial non-commercial

research organisations & 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 exchange
