Call for proposals for Marie Curie Career Integration Grants for support in training and career development of researchers
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for Marie Curie Career Integration Grant proposals for support in training and career development of researchers under the 2011 'People' work programme of the Seventh Framework Programme. The grants provide researchers, who have been offered a stable position and who are considering establishing themselves in Europe, with their own research budget, thus contributing to the scientific success of their research career. The action is intended to improve considerably the prospects for the permanent integration of researchers who are taking up, for the first time, a stable post in Europe. Projects under this action contribute not only to the reinforcement of the human research potential in the European Research Area, but also to countering European 'brain drain' to other third countries. Moreover, the action is beneficial in terms of knowledge transfer and trans-national cooperation. Funded projects provide public and private research organisations with the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and experience gained by researchers during their mobility experience within or outside Europe. The indicative budget for the call is EUR 40 million.The call is one of three Marie Curie-related calls published on 20 October 2010: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.FP7CallsPage&rs(opens in new window) 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=379(opens in new window) To see the official call announcement in the Official Journal of the European Union please consult: OJ No C 283 of 20 October 2010(opens in new window)
