Young researchers are trained on individual, personalised research projects that are complemented by structured training modules in other relevant skills and competences (including management and financing of research projects and programmes, intellectual property rights, means of exploiting research results, entrepreneurship, ethical aspects and communication).

These fellowships help experienced researchers acquire new research skills and experience working in other sectors. This is achieved through funding for advanced training and career development. Financial support is provided for a period of 12-24 months, for individual projects presented by experienced researchers from Member States or Associated Countries in liaison with a host organisation from Member State or Associated Country. The fellowship may include training through research, hands-on training to develop scientific skills or complementary skills (eg. project management, request for pantent applications etc), active scientific and financial management of the research project, among others.

These provide funding for research project costs (salaries, travel, consumables, patent application, etc.) to assist professional (re)integration in Europe and to support long-term research employment for researchers who have benefited from training within a Marie Curie Action.

These provide funding for research project costs (salaries, travel, consumables, patent application, etc.) to assist professional (re)integration in Europe of European researchers who have carried out research outside Europe.

These actions co-fund regional, national and international fellowship programmes for research training and career development. Co-funded programmes must be for post-doctoral level fellowships or more experienced researchers, and must include transnational mobility.

These provide funding (salary, research-related costs) for advanced training for experienced European researchers conducting high-level research in a university, research centre or company in a non-EU country.

These provide funding (salary, research-related costs) for researchers from non- European countries working on projects in a host institution in Europe.

This provides funding (living and travel costs) for staff in universities, research centres and related public sector organisations to spend time in research organisations in partner countries outside the EU (countries with an EU science and technology agreement or neighbouring countries) with the aim of strengthening long-term cooperation.

These help commercial and non-commercial research organisations work together. Partners include universities and companies of all shapes and sizes. They focus on joint research projects and the recruitment of experienced researchers from outside the partnership in order to boost skills exchange between the commercial and non-commercial sectors.

This is for the funding of one-night events that offer the public ‘edutainment’ activities, and allow them to improve their knowledge about researchers and research.
