Researcher Definitions
Early Stage Researcher (ESR)At the time of recruitment (ITN) or secondment (RISE) by the host organisation, must be in the first 4 years (full-time research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree
Experienced Researcher (ER)At the time of the call deadline (IF) or secondment (RISE) by the host organisation, must be in possession of a doctoral degree or have at least 4 years of full-time equivalent research experience
7
Innovative Training Networks (ITN)Key Features
‘Aims to train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers, able to face current and future challenges and to convert knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit’
8
Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Key Features
Doctoral and initial training of researchers proposed by international networks of organisations from academic and non-academic sectors
Dedicated to early-stage researchers (no ER recruitment)
Focus on scientific/ technological knowledge through research onindividual/personalised projects
Meaningful exposure to non-academic sector
Developing entrepreneurship and skills matching research labour market needs. Transferable skills training e.g. communication, research management, IP, ethics, societal outreach, entrepreneurship
1) Beneficiaries – full partner, supervise, host ESRs, secondment opportunities and 2) Partner: provide training and host ESRs during secondments

Individual Fellowships
“Aims to enhance the creative and innovative potential of experienced researchers wishing to diversify their individual competence in terms ofskill acquisition at multi- or interdisciplinary level through advanced training, international and intersectoral mobility”
12
Individual Fellowships
Individual fellowships for most promising experienced researchers
Enhance competences and creative potential of best researchers of any nationality
to develop their skills through international or inter-sector mobility
Acquire and transfer new knowledge (in and outside EU)
Specific support for reintegration and career restart

Individual Fellowships
Mobility rule appliesMobility rule for CAR and RIG: “researcher has not resided or carried out their main activity in the country of their host organisation for more than 3 years in the 5 years immediately prior to the relevant deadline”
* AND “researcher has not been active in research for at least 12 months” ** AND “researcher has previously been active in Europe for at least five consecutive years”
European Fellowships Global Fellowships• 12-24 months• From any country to MS/AC• Separate multi-disciplinary panels for career restart * and reintegration**
• 12-24 months plus 12 month return phase• Secondment from MS/AC to third country• Mandatory 12 month return phase in Europe (not subject to mobility rule
14
Individual Fellowships
Optional intersectoral secondment that should significantly add to the impact of the research project
Must take place in a MS/AC and during the fellowship
Secondment phase can be a single period or divided into shortermobility periods
For a fellowship > 18 months, secondment phase may be up to 6 months
For a fellowship ≤ 18 months, secondment phase may be up to 3 Month
15
Research and Innovation Staff Exchange
‘“Aims to promote international and inter-sector collaboration through research and innovation staff exchanges, and sharing of knowledge and ideas from research to market (and vice-versa) for the advancement of science and development of innovation”
16
Research and Innovation Staff Exchange
Development of joint research and innovation project partnerships.
Projects up to 4 years and max. 540 researcher months
Typically can be 4-6 organisations
Knowledge sharing via international and/or inter-sector mobility through two way secondments of (ESRs /ERs/support staff) with built-in return mechanism – no recruitment of new staff
• Exchanges between MS/AC only: secondments must be inter-sectoral
• Exchanges between MS/AC and third countries: secondments can be same sector and/or intersectoral
17
Research and Innovation Staff Exchange
A RISE partnership shall be composed by at least three independent participants established in three different countries and must respect one of the following two conditions:
two organisations are located in two different MS/AC and one organisation is located in a TC (can be either sector)
or
If from MS/AC, at least one organisation should be from the academic sector and one from the non-academic sector.
Above these minimum requirements additional organisations established in MS/AC and/or in other third countries can participate
