Aims of Today
• Understand how Marie Curie Actions fit
within FP6
• Where necessary, learn the jargon!
• Understand how Marie Curie actions have
changed since FP5
• Understand the range of different Marie
Curie actions
• Understand how Marie Curie actions work

• Excellence promotion measures
• Life-long learning concept
• Personal/family situation of researchers
Marie Curie Actions
Individual Driven Actions
Host Driven Actions
• Host institutions/network
applies for a number of
fellows/researchers
• Host’s proposal is evaluated
• Selected host/network
advertises fellowship
position and selects
fellows/researchers
• Contract duration with host,
usually 4 years
• Fellows’ stay depending on
Action (up to 3 years)
•
•
•
Researcher applies jointly with
host
Fellows’ stay depending on

part of RTN,for 2 years with an employment
contract, undertaking experimental work
• Total allocated to fellow (Mobility + salary): 62,212.50 €
x 2 years= 124,425 €

• Travel costs: 1000 € x 2 years=2000€
Total received by researcher (before tax etc.): 128,425€

Contribution to Host: Example
Postdoctoral Researcher with family, coming to York as
part of RTN,for 2 years with an employment
contract, undertaking experimental work
• Running Expenses: 24 x 400 €= 9,600 €
• Management cost : 7% x Total Cost= 9,661.71€
• Overheads =10% of Total Cost= 13,802.50 €
• Total Contribution to Host: 33,064.25€ (£20,830.48)
Total received by institution: 33,064 €+ 128,425 € =
