The objective is to strengthen, quantitatively and qualitatively, the human potential in research and technology in Europe with the aim:
- to endow researchers with new skills and a wider range of competences
- to offer attractive working conditions for the researchers
- to break the real and perceived barriers between academic and other sectors, especially business
- to promote the involvement of industry etc. in doctoral and post-doctoral research.
Target:
individuals and organisations working in any area of research.
Activities:
Individual fellowships (IF): support for experienced researchers undertaking mobility between countries, optionally to the non-academic sector, to support the mobility of researchers within and beyond Europe – as well as helping to attract the best foreign researchers to work in the EU.
