Marie Curie Fellowships
The Marie Curie Fellowships scheme has had massive
success, and has benefited from greater than expected budget increases
between successive Framework Programme. For FP7, the EC had build
upon the fellowship types available in FP6, although in some cases
there has been a shift in emphasis. For this reason, researchers
who applied in FP6 are strongly advised to read the relevant documentation
for FP7 to ensure that they are still eligible to submit an application/proposal
and that they fully understand the subtle changes that have been
made.
The Marie Curie Fellowships have been split into
5 headings, each of which aims to respond to specific problems
within particular areas of the European research community.
Life-long training
and career development
Activities under the Life-long training and career development
heading aim to support more experienced researchers in acquiring
new or complementary skills and competencies. Such skills might
be linked to enhanced inter or multidisciplinarity in research
and/or through inter-sectoral mobility (industry-academia). Further,
activities here seek to facilitate the resumption of a research
career following a break (typically, but not exclusively parental
leave), and in (re)integrating individuals into the European research
community following a period as a Marie Curie fellow. |
