Objective
In order to improve the living and working conditions of mobile researchers in Europe, the European Commission has initiated the creation of the European Network of Mobility Information Centres. The Polish Ministry of Scientific Research has recognized the above-mentioned initiative and appointed the NCP-Poland to submit the proposal which aims at establishing the Polish Network of Mobility Information Centres (PL-MoC). The main objective of the 3-year project is to offer researchers and their families comprehensive and up-to-date information and personalised assistance in all matters relating to their professional and daily lives (visa, work permit, social and health security, pension rights, taxation, apartment rental or housing, language courses, childcare facilities and schooling, culture and leisure activities, etc). This objective will be achieved by joint efforts of the already existing organisations within the Polish network of Contact Points since new responsibilites of complementary assistance to mobile researchers, host institutions and public administration will be assigned to them. The network will be managed by the Bridgehead Organisation and 10 regional Mobility Centres. Thus, the structure of the work plan and the overall methodology of the project have been designed in order to achieve the core objectives resulting from the thorough mapping exercise. Firstly, the reliable sources of information will be identified and information collected. On that basis, the national and regional web-sites for mobile researchers will be developed. Furhtermore, the proximity assistance will be offered by well-trained and professional personnel of MoC network (help-desk). The entire PL-MoC network will be widely recognized thanks to promotional and awareness-raising campaign.
