'People' call published: Initial Training Networks
17.04.2008, 09:39
The European Commission has published a call for proposals under the 'People' section of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
The call relates to the Marie Curie Initial Training Networks
(ITNs), which are intended to improve the career perspectives of
early-stage researchers in both the public and private sectors, thereby
making research careers more attractive to young people.
This will be achieved through a trans-national networking
mechanism, aimed at structuring the existing high-quality initial
research training capacity throughout Member States and Associated
countries in both the public and private sectors. It will be
implemented by supporting competitively selected networks of
organisations from different countries engaged in research training.
The networks will be built on a joint research training programme,
responding to identified training needs in defined scientific or
technological areas, with appropriate references to interdisciplinary
and newly emerging supra-disciplinary fields.
The action is primarily for researchers from Member States and
Associated countries, but is also open to researchers from third
countries.
The budget for the call is €185,000,000.
The deadline for submitting proposal documents is 2 September 2008.
