10 Mobility rule IF/ITN/Cofund: the researcher must not have resided and/or carried out his/her main activity for more than 12 month within the last 3 yearsimmediatelypriortothe application/recruitment For Global Fellowships the mobility rule applies to the third country Modifiedmobilityrulefor3 specificpanelsin European fellowships Not applicable for RISE 10

11 Early stageresearchers/experienced researchers early-stage researchers: ESRs ; i.e. not have a doctoral degree and be in the first four years of full-time-equivalent research experience of their research career) experienced researchers: ERs ; i.e. have a doctoral degree or have at least four years full-time-equivalent research experience of research career full-time-equivalentmeans research experience, from the date when the researcher obtained a degree entitling him/her to embark on a doctoral program (either in the country in which it was obtained or in which s/he is recruited) 11

12 Participatingcountries in Horizon EU Member States (MS) 16 Associated Countries (AC) Albania, Armenia, BosniaandHerzegovina, Iceland, Israel, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, FaroeIslands, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland (associatedwithin ExcellentScience ), Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine Third Countries (TC) with EU-funding: selectedcountries fromafrica, Asia, Latin America, Central Asia, Eastern Europe without EU-funding: BRIC-Countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and further highly industrializedthirdcountries, e.g. USA, Canada, Japan, New Zealand 10/10/

13 BeneficiariesandPartner organisations Beneficiaries Partner Organisations Sign the Grant Agreement Hire the Fellows/take responsibility for the project Have to contribute directly to the training programme Can offer secondments Do not sign the Grant Agreement Do not hire the fellows Offer Training and secondment opportunities Can claim their costs to the beneficiaries, do not need a PIC number Have to hand in a letter of comittment in the proposal 13

14 Different sectorsin Horizon2020 Academic Sector Non-academic Sector Public or private higher education establishments (awarding academic degrees) Public or private non-profit research organisations (doing research as the primary mission) International European Interest Organisations (e.g. CERN) Any socio-economic actor not included in the academic sector (e.g. Companies, SME, Hospitals, Museums, Foundations, Agencies etc.) 10/10/

15 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) COFUND Individual Fellowships (IF) 15

16 Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Aim is to educate and recruit creative and innovative early stage researchers Structurethetrainingofyoungresearchersin Europe Better chances for employment in the academic and non-academic sectors Intensify the collaboration between the academic and non-academic sector 16

17 Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Recruitment of early stage researchers according to the mobility rule Individual supervision of the projects Structured training: courses, summer schools etc Secondments Intersectoral experiences Max. projectlength up to 4 years 17

18 Innovative Training Networks (ITN) European Training Networks European Industrial Doctorates European Joint Doctorates At least 3 beneficiaries (recruiting institutions) in 3 different MS/AC At least 2 beneficiaries in 2 different MS/AC and from both different sectors (1 academic institution / 1 nonacademic institution) At least 3 beneficiareis in 3 different MS/AC At least 3 beneficiaries must be entitled to award a doctoral degree ETN EID EJD 18

19 Consortiain ETN andejd Consortiumofat least 3 beneficiariesfromdifferent MS/AS andoptional further partner organisations from Europe or abroad Recommendation of the EU: 6-10 beneficiaries(from the academic and non-academic sector) Beneficiary has to employ Early Stage Researcher (ESR) Duration of employment: 3-36 months Maximum: 540 person months(15 ESR for 36 months each) Beneficiary Signatory of the Grant Agreement Employs PhD Students (full-time working contract; subject to social contribution) Trains and teaches Receives direct funding from the EU Partner Organisation Non-signatory of the Grant Agreement Trains and teaches Hosts the ESR for secondments (3-6 months) Does not receive direct funding from the EU 19

20 European Industrial Doctorate Consortium consists of at least two beneficiaries, one from the academic and one from the non-academic sector from different MS/AC Obligatory joint supervision of the ESR from both sectors ESR: at least 50% of the employment must be fulfilled in the non-academic sector Funding: Two beneficiaries Maximum of 180 person months More than two beneficiaries Maximum of 540 person months 20

22 Research andinnovation StaffExchange Aim is the international and intersectoral collaboration Knowledge transfer between research and market and vice versa Common research and innovation culture At least 3 institutions from 3 different countries, at least 2 of them from MS/AC If all institutions are from the same sector, at least one must be located in a Third Country 22

23 Research andinnovation Staff Exchange Secondments of staff: 1-12 months (splitting is possible) Mandatory: staff members must have been actively engaged in or linked to the sending institution for 6 months before the first secondment + reintegration after the secondment Allowed secondments between MS/AC: intersectoral between MS/AC and TC: innersectoral and intersectoral Funding: max. 540 person months for a max. of 4 years 23
