Outline
Why is there a Human Factor and Mobility Programme?
Marie Curie Programme FP6 (2002-2006)to FP7 (2007 – 2013)
3April 2006
Typical young people’s view of a research career….
Not a proper career
Difficult, long and hard studies ;
Poor rewards, low social status
High personal risks, e.g. post-doc hopping, research budgets not stable, mobility problematic
Reasons for a Human Factor and Mobility Programme
4April 2006
And more issues of concern to policy makers:
Brain drain vs. Brain gain
Not only a European issue, but global
Brain drain is only serious when there are no attractive return possibilities and career prospects
Reasons for a Human Factor and Mobility Programme
5April 2006
Commission’s views on mobility:
Trans-national mobility beneficial, even indispensable
Researchers are traditionally mobile
Mobile researchers are not “lost”
Commission builds on “brain circulation”, both within Europe and at global level
Reasons for a Human Factor and Mobility Programme
6April 2006
A sustainable career in research requires:
A good research environment
An offer of attractive career prospects
Systematic and considerable financial investments in researcher’s training, mobility and career development
Reasons for a Human Factor and Mobility Programme
7April 2006
Good reasons for meeting these requirements:
Strong research policy to support the Lisbon Strategy
Stepping-up research efforts needed more than ever
No researchers = no research: European research needs sufficient and well-trained human resources
Reasons for a Human Factor and Mobility Programme
8April 2006
Actions at European level: Development of an open and competitive
European labour market for researchers:
Improve overall environment for European researchers by enhancing mobility & removing obstacles
Develop genuine European career perspectives: enhancing EU’s attractiveness
Substantial increase of funding for training, mobility and career development of researchers
Reasons for a Human Factor and Mobility Programme
9April 2006
Actions at European level: Need to improve public recognition of researchers,
attract more young people to science
Above all foster career development of researchers: Commission Recommendation on “European Researchers’ Charter and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers”
http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/europeancharter
Framework for MS, employers and funders of research to remedy: Huge differences in career structures in European countries Non-transparent recruitment procedures Lack of career development prospects

Reinforce investments in People: Considerable reinforcement of the FP7 Marie Curie
Actions expected
Marie Curie Actions are expected to concentrate on: the structuring effect they have on research training, mobility & career development and strengthening links with national systems
Also focus on:
- reinforcing the involvement of enterprises
- strengthening the international dimension

Overall scope
Human resource development in R&D in Europe
Numerous, well-trained, motivated researchers
Attract students to research careers
Attract researchers to Europe and retain
Skills and sustainable career development
Continuity of previous Framework programme, with focus on structuring impact, while simplifying
Appropriate gender balance
Marie Curie Actions FP7Marie Curie Actions FP7

April 2006
Objectives
Strengthen and structure Early Stage Training at European level
Attract to scientific careers
Improve career perspectives by broad skills development (including private sector needs)
Main features
Appropriate private sector involvement
Joint training programme with (i) training through research (ii) complementary competences (structured training) modules
Coherent quality standards/mutual recognition of training/diplomas
Allowances for “early-stage” researchers / « Chair » positions
Short training events (conferences, summer schools, training courses), also open to researchers from outside the network
Marie Curie Networks forearly stage training

19
April 2006
Objectives
Career development of experienced researchers by: complementing skills/competencies (incl. inter-disciplinarity/ inter-sectoral mobility); resume research/reintegrate after mobility
Greater impact by co-funding of national/international fellowship programmes
Main features
« Classical » mode: selection and funding of individual fellows (experienced researchers)
through call at EC level
« Cofunding » mode: Selection of « cofunded » programmes through open calls with clear
eligibility/evaluation criteria (no national quota) Researchers apply in the funded national programmes Community funding: fixed percentage of fellowships costs of selected
researchers complying with the eligibility criteria

Objectives
Reinforce the international (extra-European) dimension of training and mobility as fundamental component of the EU’s human resources in R&D
Main features
Career development/life-long training for EU researchers :
Outgoing fellowships, with mandatory return
Return and reintegration for European researchers abroad
International co-operation through researchers from 3d countries :
All Marie Curie host driven actions open to 3d country nationals
Incoming fellowships for knowledge enhancement and collaboration enrichment (optional return for researchers from certain areas)
International cooperation scheme with EU neighbouring countries and S&T agreement countries
Support to « scientific diasporas »

April 2006
Objectives
Enhance diverse career possibilities for researchers in Europe, by increasing the private sector involvement in all Marie Curie actions
Create pathways between industry and academia and encourage knowledge sharing / cultural exchange, in particular SMES
Industry-academia partnership scheme
Embedded in longer term cooperation between both sectors
2-way staff secondments / hosting of experienced researchers from outside the partnership
Organisation of workshops/conferences, including for researchers from outside the partnership
Salary costs of seconded researchers / recruited experienced researchers
Special measure: specific equipment costs for SMEs
