2. [The 7th Framework Programme]

3. To strengthen, quantitatively and qualitatively,
the human potential in R&D in Europe:
• by stimulating people to take up the profession of a
researcher,
• encouraging European researchers to stay in Europe,
• attracting to Europe the best researchers from the
entire world
[PEOPLE: objective]
the overall strategic objective is to make Europe
more attractive for researchers

4. [Marie Curie Actions]

5. [Marie Curie Actions]
Mobility, both trans-national and intersectoral, is fundamental to this
programme.
The enhancement of industry-academia cooperation in terms of
research training, career development and knowledge sharing,
taking into account the protection of intellectual property rights, is
encouraged throughout.
The international dimension, as a fundamental component of
human resources in research and development in Europe, will be
addressed in terms of career development without
discrimination, as well as of strengthening and enriching
international cooperation through researchers and attracting
research talent to Europe.

6. [FP7 MCA Achievements]

[International dimension]

10.  For experienced researchers! Of any nationality!
be in possession of a doctoral degree or have at least four years of full-time equivalent
research experience
 Mobility: at the time of the deadline for submission of
proposals, researchers must not have resided or carried out
their main activity in the country of their host organisation for
more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the
reference date
 “bottom-up” approach
 The project proposals are submitted by experienced
researchers in liaison with a host organisation; the Grant
Agreement signed between the host organisation (MS/AC) and
the REA
[IxF: basic rules]

11. International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF)
Expected impact
Significant advances in such researchers'
careers
Acquisition of complementary research
competences at an advanced level
Reach a position of professional maturity
International collaborations
Objective
to reinforce the international
dimension of the career of
European researchers by giving
them the opportunity to be
trained and acquire new
knowledge in a high-level
organisation active in research,
established in an other third
country (outgoing phase)
to transfer acquired knowledge
to Member States (MS) and
Associated Countries (AC)

12. Expected impact
Significant advances in such
researchers' careers
Acquisition of complementary
research competences at an
advanced level
Attain a leading INTERNATIONAL
and independent position
International Incoming Fellowships (IIF)
Objective
to reinforce the research
excellence of MS/AC through
knowledge sharing with
incoming top-class researchers
active in an other third country
working on research projects
in Europe,
to develop mutually beneficial
research co-operation between
Europe and an other third
country
to transfer knowledge through
research cooperation

13. [Funding rates (IOF, IIF)]
• Salary contribution (experience) & Mobility allowance
(700/1000 € month)
• Contribution to Training and Research costs (800 € month)
• Overheads (max. 700 € month)
• Also: X Country coefficient
