Welcoming highly-talented international post-docs in Brittany

Project description

Researcher career development opportunities in Brittany

The EU-funded BIENVENUE project represents an innovative fellowship programme that will offer 75 two-year postdoctoral positions to highly skilled researchers who will work in a thriving environment of international esteem. It is designed as a building block supporting France’s Brittany Region’s proactive initiative to develop a knowledge-driven economy with international recognition and a local identity. It aims to reinforce Brittany’s human capital in research and innovation and to maximise impact by heightening research excellence, cross-sectoral innovation, and collaboration between academics, non-academics and policymakers. The postdoctoral projects will be hosted at eight highly active research institutions. Through BIENVENUE, the programme will further focus on enhancing researchers’ career development opportunities and enable fellows to acquire transferable skills as well as explore career paths in private or public settings.

Objective

Led by REGION BRETAGNE, the BIENVENE Programme is an innovative fellowship programme offering 75 two-year postdoc positions to highly-skilled researchers to work in the thriving and internationally esteemed environment that is Frances Brittany Region.
The BIENVENE Programme is designed as a building block of the proactive regional initiative to develop a knowledge-driven economy with international recognition and a local identity. It will reinforce the human capital of the region in R&I and maximise impact on the RIS3 implementation by heightening research excellence, cross-sectoral innovation, and collaboration between academic, non-academic and policy makers, thus stimulating regional development.
To achieve these objectives, the programme BIENVENE is proposing attractive conditions for self-built, bottom-up postdoctoral projects in all scientific fields, to be hosted in 8 highly active research institutions (universities and research centres). To ensure a large diversity of profile and an increase pool of future scientific leader for the region, the project selection will be made through merit-based, fair, international and transparent procedures. Then, BIENVENE focuses on enhancing researchers career development opportunities in line with MSCA principles. In addition, cooperation with key innovative industrial players and other non-academic partners (public bodies, NGOs, etc.), with international or interdisciplinary partners through intersectoral secondments and training events will provide opportunities for postdoctoral fellows to acquire transferable skills and to explore new career opportunities in private or public settings.
