A new study led by the University of Gothenburg in Sweden shows how the situation is further exacerbated by the fact that 25% of managers of small and medium-sized enterprises expect to retire by 2016, resulting in the closure of a company in 1 in 10 cases. The findings, which provide insight into what measures must be implemented to help retain the elderly in the labour market, are an outcome of the BEST AGERS project, supported under the EU's Baltic Sea Region Programme to the tune of EUR 4.4 million.]]> Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2011-11-23:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_11_23_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=23293 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_07_15_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=22213 Europe will need at least 1 million new research jobs in the near future to meet its ambitions of being one of the most innovative regions of the planet. Therefore, young women and men wanting to become researchers are desperately needed. The European Commission encourages and fosters an understanding of science among young Europeans, and in turn helps them follow related careers. Both the ERA-NET scheme and the Article 185 Initiative are helping drive this objective.]]> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2011-07-15:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_07_15_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=22213 http://ec.europa.eu/research/iscp/index.cfm Wed, 23 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2011-03-23:/iscp/index.cfm
