Human Resources and Mobility Marie Curie Actions

• Host Driven Actions
• Host institutions/network applies for a number of
  fellows/researchers
• Hosts 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)

• Individual Driven Actions
• Researcher applies jointly with host
• Fellows stay depending on Action
• Fellows withdrawing cannot be replaced
