On Thursday, 20 October 2011, the PEOPLE
National Contact Points have held an
information day focusing on the so-called
host-driven Marie Curie Actions (MCA), in
particular the actions ITN, IAPP and IRSES.
Host-driven actions are initiated by host
organisations, such as universities, research centres,
businesses, and international organisations. A proposal
for a research project, in any scientific area, is formulated
by one or more host organisations. The major part of this
research project is to be carried out by one or more fellows.
In the project proposal submitted to the EC, the host or hosts
indicate which part of the research is to be carried out by fellows,
in other words where the 'vacancies' for fellows lie. If the proposal
is selected, the host receives funding to recruit and pay the fellows'
salaries and part of the project costs. The host must advertise the
vacancies widely, for example through their Web site, scientific magazines,
university networks, etc. The European Commission also advertises the vacancies
on their Web site. Fellows who are interested in a Marie Curie fellowship vacancy apply directly to the host institute.
More information on the PEOPLE Programme and MCA [in Croatian!]: www.euraxess.hr/people.
The speakers included the National Contact Points, a good practice example by a Croatian
researcher who has participated in a host-driven Marie Curie Action, and most importantly a
representative from the Research Executive Agency - the public body that administrates the Marie
Curie Actions for the European Commission.
