Principles for
Innovative Doctoral Training
• 1) Research Excellence
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
2) Attractive Institutional Environment
3) Interdisciplinary Research Options
4) Exposure to industry and other relevant
employment sectors
5) International networking
6) Transferable skills training
7) Quality Assurance
Research & Innovation
28
In short: Doctoral Training
should become:« Triple i »
• International
• Interdisciplinary
• Intersectoral
29
Research & Innovation
How were the Principles
identified?
• The principles were adopted by the ERA Steering
Group on Human Resources and Mobility (ERASGHRM) as part of a Mapping Exercise on Doctoral
Training in Europe.
• The Principles were defined with the help of experts
from university associations; industry and funding
organisations.
• They reflect the Salzburg Principles of EUA, good
practice in Member States and the Marie Curie
experience.
Research & Innovation
30
Wide Endorsement
• Council Counclusions:"Link, where
relevant and appropriate, national funding
to the Principles for Innovative Doctoral
Training"
• Research Stakeholders Organisations
MoUs: develop in line with Principles
• Subject specific: ORPHEUS/AMSE/WFE

The New 'Scientific Visa'
Facilitates the procedure of admitting
third-country nationals for the purpose of
research, studies, pupil exchange,
remunerated
and
unremunerated
training, voluntary service and au
pairing.
Building on the existing
2005/71/EC and 2004/114/EC.
Research & Innovation
Directives
More Rights For 3C Nationals
• Equal status to that of nationals in terms of pay and working
conditions, access to goods and services, recognition of
professional qualifications and social security
• A residence permit may be granted to family members for the
duration of the researcher’s residence permit. Family members
will be allowed to work
• The researcher can take up a teaching position
• Upon finalisation of their research project researchers will be
allowed to remain in the Member State to look for work for a
period of 12 months
• You Can Move Around (up to 6 months without a new hosting
agreement)

Widening: Closing the Divide
in Research and Innovation
• Structural Funds
• Smart Specialisation Strategies
• Horizon 2020
• Twinning, Teaming, ERA Chairs
38
Research & Innovation
ERA Chairs: Attract outstanding academics to
institutions with a clear potential for research
excellence
Twinning: Teaming of excellent research
institutions and low performing MS/Regions (in terms
of Research and Innovation). Creation of new centres
of excellence in low performing RDI Member States
and regions, strongly linked with local /national Smart
Specialisation Strategies
Teaming:
Twinning aims at significantly
strengthening a defined field of research in an
emerging institution through links with at least two
internationally-leading institutions in a defined field.
