Marie Curie International Reintegration Grants

Agency:

European Commission Framework Programme 7 (FP7) People Programme

Value:

€25,000/researcher year.  Managed by the hosting organisation for expenses related to the integration of the researcher in the host institution.  This can cover a flat-rate contribution to the salary costs of the researcher, and/or to the research costs relating to the researcher’s project at the reintegration host, such as salary costs of other staff (e.g. assistants, technicians), travel costs, consumables, patent costs and publication costs.

Eligible:

• On the relevant cut-off date, researchers addressed under this action are those based on the definition of experienced researchers (1).

• This action will be open to experienced researchers from the Member States or Associated Countries (2), who at the date of submission have been active in research in a third country for at least 3 years and who will return to a Member State or Associated Country (2).

• At the time of the relevant cut-off date, they should not have spent more than 12 months in a Member State or Associated country during the previous 3 years (short stays, such as holidays, are not taken into account).

• Normally the scheme is intended to encourage researchers who have not yet gained employment in Europe to do so.

• In exceptional cases, applications from researchers who are already employed by a European research organisation at the time of the submission will be considered, but they must demonstrate significant improvement in their employment conditions or career prospects.

Duration:

2 - 4 years

Notes

1. Experienced Researchers must, at the time of the relevant deadline for submission or selection by the host organisation, depending on the action, either be in possession of a doctoral degree, irrespective of the time taken to acquire it, or have at least four years of full-time equivalent research experience.

Full-time equivalent research experience is taken from the date when they obtained the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the research training is provided, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is envisaged.

2. Associated Countries have science and technology cooperation agreements that involved contributing to the framework programme budget.  For a full list, click here
