Call for proposals for the trans-national operation of the 'Euraxess Services Network II'
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for the trans-national operation of the 'Euraxess Services Network II' (Euraxess II). Euraxess II will focus on enhancing the overall performance of the network and stimulating cooperation between the members on operational and strategic issues and further partnership implementation. It will also deal with the wide-range of obstacles affecting mobile researchers, including among the issues social security rights. The action is expected to deliver further improved and sustained coverage of comprehensive and practical assistance through the Euraxess Service Centres targeting mobile researchers and their families across the European Union and associated states. At the same time, the initiative aims to improve effective connections at the national level with a view to advertising all researcher vacancies trans-nationally. Euraxess is a joint initiative of the European Commission and the countries participating in the European Union's Framework Programme for Research. It is designed to be a one-stop shop for researchers seeking to advance their careers and personal development by moving to other countries. In addition to the information on training and jobs, Euraxess is the entry point to a wealth of practical information on living, working and relaxing in the European countries involved. The indicative budget for the call is EUR 3 million.To see the full details of the call, please consult the following web address: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.FP7DetailsCallPage&call_id=389(opens in new window) To see the official call announcement in the Official Journal of the European Union please consult: OJ No C 340 of 15 December 2010(opens in new window)
