Outline of the presentation
  • Marie Curie Actions
  • Intra-European and International Outgoing
    Fellowships for Career Development (IEF IOF)
  • International Incoming Fellowships (IIF)
  • European and International Reintegration Grants
    (ERG IRG)
  • Individual fellowships in national programmes
    COFUNDed by Marie Curie Actions

3
General principles
  • Focus is on the researchers career development
    (exception IIF transfer of knowledge to European
    host institution)
  • Open to all disciplines from Natural Sciences
    to Social Sciences and Humanities
  • Bottom-up no pre-defined topics or priority
    areas
  • Free choice of host institution from public or
    private sector
  • No age limits what counts is level of
    experience
  • Provisions for appropriate work/life balance
    (split stays, maternity/parental leave etc.)

4
Basic definitions individual actions
  • Intra-European/International Fellowships and
    Reintegration Grants are individual actions
  • Individual researcher applies jointly with host
    institution
  • Duration at least 1 year for fellowships, 2 years
    for reintegration grants
  • Grant agreement between Commission and host
    institution, for fellowships then work contract
    (or stipend agreement) between host and fellow
  • Fellowship/grant bound to individual (no
    replacement)

5
Basic definitions level of experience
  • Experienced Researcher (ER)
  • Either in possession of a doctoral degree
  • Or at least 4 years of research experience
    (full-time equivalent) since degree qualifying
    them to embark on a doctorate
  • All Marie Curie Individual Actions are for
    Experienced Researchers only! Relevant date is
    deadline for submission of proposals.

6
Basic definitions MS/AC/TC
  • 27 Member States (MS)
  • 11 Associated Countries (AC)
  • Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Israel,
    Switzerland, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Serbia,
    Turkey, Albania, Montenegro
  • Third Countries (TC)
  • More than 140 International Cooperation Partner
    Countries (ICPC)
  • Other Third Countries (OTC)

7
Basic definitions host institutions
  • Organisations that are actively involved in
    research
  • Universities/Institutes of Technology
  • Private and public research institutes
  • Companies big and small
  • International Organisations (CERN, UNESCO, )
  • The European Commissions Joint Research Centre
  • NGOs
  • Etc.

8
Basic definitions mobility requirements
(fellowships)
  • Fellow has not been resident in the host country
    for more than 12 months within the last 3 years
  • Fellow does not have the nationality of the host
    country. Special rules in case of
  • Dual citizenship
  • European researcher returning from a third
    country
  • Third Country researcher having resided in Europe
    for a long time
  • International organisations as host institutions

9
Intra-European Fellowships
  • For the career development and competence
    diversification of experienced researchers (with
    or without PhD, from post-doc to senior
    researcher)
  • Nationals of MS/AC or assimilated nationals
  • Any topic, any host institution in a MS/AC (could
    be a company!)
  • Transnational mobility is a must
  • Duration 1 2 years

10
International Outgoing Fellowships
  • To reinforce the international dimension of the
    career of experienced researchers who are
    nationals of a MS/AC
  • Two phases (fellowship covers both phases)
  • Outgoing phase (1 2 years) for training and
    career development in any Third Country
    institution
  • Mandatory return phase (1 year) in distinct legal
    entity in MS/AC for reintegration and knowledge
    transfer
  • Grant agreement is with the return host
    (responsible for return of the fellow)
  • Transnational mobility is a must

11
International Incoming Fellowships
  • To reinforce scientific excellence of MS/AC by
    attracting top-class experienced Third Country
    researchers
  • Enhance possibility for future collaborations
  • One or two phases
  • incoming phase (1 2 years) in any MS/AC
    (fellowship)
  • optional return phase in country of origin (max 1
    year) if researcher is a national of an ICPC
    country (15,000/year towards research costs)
  • Grant agreement with European and return host
  • Transnational mobility is a must

12
European Reintegration Grants
  • Following a Marie Curie fellowship of at least 18
    months duration (could be a host fellowship!)
    application up to 6 months after end of initial
    fellowship
  • For ERs from MS/AC or assimilated nationals
  • Grants provide support to the longer-term
    (re-)integration in any MS/AC institution
  • Contribution to the research and/or salary costs
    during 2 3 years (15,000/year)
  • Host institution must provide adequate work
    contract for at least the duration of the project
  • Mobility not mandatory

13
International Reintegration Grants
  • For ERs from MS/AC who have spent at least three
    years outside MS/AC and not more than 12 months
    within last three years in MS/AC
  • Grants provide support to the longer-term
    (re-)integration in any MS/AC institution
  • Contribution to the research and/or salary costs
    during 2 4 years (25,000/year)
  • Host institution must provide evidence that
    researcher gets effectively reintegrated
  • Researcher should normally not yet have returned
    to research in MS/AC (exceptions in well
    justified cases)

16
Contribution managed by the host institution
(fellowships)
  • Participation expenses of researchers managed
    by host institution to cover research and
    training activities of fellows (conference
    attendance, training actions, research costs,
    membership in professional associations, etc.)
  • 500 per fellow-months for non-laboratory based
    projects
  • 800 per fellow-months for laboratory based
    projects
  • does not apply to reintegration grants and return
    phase of IIF

17

  • First information received by Irish proposers
    very positive, but no definitive results yet
