The Marie
Curie Actions offer numerous opportunities to individual researchers
to participate in a research team in another country. Funding is available
for researchers to move both within Europe and internationally. And,
in an effort to enhance networking between researchers, the EU provides
funding for researchers coming from third countries to train in Europe.
Three types of so-called 'Individual-Driven Actions' are available
to researchers of all ages with at least four years' experience or
with a doctorate degree.
Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships
The applicant applies to the Commission jointly with the host institution. The Commission selects the most suitable applicants and signs a contract with the host. The individual researcher then signs a contract with the institution.
Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowships Incoming International Fellowships target experi The applicant applies to the Commission jointly with the host institution. Again, the Commission selects the most suitable applicant and signs a contract with the host. The fellow agrees and signs a contract with the host organisation for a stay of between one and two years. In the case of incoming international fellowships, there is a possibility of a reintegration phase for researchers from developing countries and emerging and transition economies.
Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowships
Before applying for this fellowship, potential applicants must find suitable host organisations in a third country, for the so-called 'outgoing phase', and in an EU or Associated State, for the 'return phase'. Applicants submit a proposal to the Commission together with their two host organisations. The Commission selects the most appropriate candidates and signs a contract with the fellow's host return organisation. The fellow then signs a contract with this organisation and is seconded to the host institution in the third country for the duration of the outgoing phase. Typically two-thirds of the fellowship will be spent in a third country and the remainder in an EU or Associated State.

These
fellowships are open to EU and Associated State researchers of all
ages with at least four years' professional experience or a doctorate
degree. The purpose is to give them the financial means to undertake
advanced training through research or to acquire complementary skills
at a European organisation most suited to their professional needs.
This will give researchers the final boost they need to reach professional
independence. Before applying for funding, researchers must find
a research team in an EU or Associated State willing to take them
on for a one- to two-year stay.

researchers from outside the EU and Associated States who want to
move to Europe to take part in research training. Again, fellows
must have at least four years' experience and must agree a work
programme with a research organisation in an EU or candidate country
before applying. 
Outgoing International Fellowship allow experienced
researchers from EU or Associated States to broaden their international
research experience by spending time at a research centre outside
the EU and Associated States for periods of between one and three
years, including a compulsory return phase.
