Career Management Services for European Talents

Project description

New tools to advance researchers´ career interoperability

To maintain European competitiveness and research excellence, it is crucial to support, advance and sustain European research and innovation efforts throughout the EU. With this in mind, the EU-funded project CROSS aims at mainstreaming principles designed to promote career interoperability and organisational change. The project will develop and upgrade a range of key tools and solutions, including a self-assessment competence tool for researchers, a mentoring handbook and a roadmap for career counselling and transversal skills training. The newly created ResearchComp Community of Practice will engage stakeholders across Europe and the HRS4R Repository will benefit research-performing organisations and researchers at all career stages, significantly improving career prospects and delivering broader societal impact.

Objective

The CROSS project aims to strengthen the European Research Area by developing innovative tools to mainstream the new Charters´ principles, fostering organisational change and career interoperability. Key outputs include a Self-Assessment Competence Tool, a comprehensive Roadmap for transversal skills training, a Mentoring Handbook, a Roadmap for career counseling, an Intersectoral Collaboration Handbook, and an HRS4R Repository. These form a comprehensive set of career management services, which will be piloted and implemented across four intersectoral networks. The development of these resources will follow a co-creative process, engaging stakeholders across Europe, facilitated through the creation of our ResearchComp Community of Practice. This approach ensures their adaptability to diverse European ecosystems. A key component of CROSS is the creation of a platform designed to support institutions in obtaining the HRS4R award. This platform can also serve as a shared resource for all projects funded under this call, ensuring their continued use and expansion beyond the project’s lifecycle. By promoting organisational change, CROSS will benefit research-performing organisations and researchers at all career stages, significantly improving career prospects and delivering broader societal impact.
