Introduction and objective of the action

This action is to support the career development, or restart, of experienced researchers at different stages of their careers, and seeks to enhance their individual competence diversification in terms of skill acquisition at multi- or interdisciplinary level and/or by undertaking intersectoral experiences. The aim is to support researchers in attaining and/or strengthening a leading independent position, e.g. principal investigator, professor or other senior position in education or enterprise.

The action may also assist researchers to resume a career in research after a break. To assure equal opportunities to all proposals, applicants for such proposals can apply to be evaluated in a separate multi-disciplinary panel. To qualify for evaluation in this 'career restart' panel, researchers must not have been active in a fellowship or employed under contract, in research for at least 12 months immediately prior to the deadline for submission.

Support is foreseen for individual, trans-national, intra-European fellowships awarded directly at European Union level, to the best and most promising researchers active in Member States or associated countries, based on an application made by the researchers in conjunction with the host organisations.
