Framework Programme:

FP7- PEOPLE

Brief Description:

The Marie Curie International Staff Exchange Scheme is a new type of action first implemented in 2008, that aims to strengthen research partnerships through staff exchanges and networking activities between European research organisations and research organisations from countries with which the Community has an S&T agreement or are in the process of negotiating one, and countries covered by the European Neighbourhood policy. Compared to existing Marie Curie actions, which provide mobility possibilities to individual researchers, this new action will provide support to research organisations to establish or reinforce long-term research cooperation through a coordinated joint programme of exchange of researchers for short periods.

A participant in this action is a research organisation that will be a member of the partnership that contributes directly to the implementation of the joint exchange programme, by seconding and/or hosting eligible researchers. A partnership in this action shall be composed of at least two independent participants established in at least two different Member States or Associated countries, and one or more organisations either located in countries with which the Community has an S&T agreement or are in the process of negotiations, or in countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy.

The fixed Community contribution is 1900 EUR per exchanged staff member per month. This amount should cover the cost of travel and subsistence of the exchanged staff. Networking actions, management costs and overheads related to the execution of the exchange may also be included in the contribution. For countries located a long distance from Europe (see list of eligible countries in Annex 1.3), an additional long distance allowance of 200 EUR per exchanged staff member per month is paid to cover their higher travel costs.

Projects under this action are expected to contribute significantly to constructing new and enhancing exisitng networks of beneficial international research collaborations between Member States and Associated countries and those third countries covered by the Science and Technology agreement or by the European Neighbourhood Policy. At the same time the participants bring with them knowledge encouraging an exchange of best practice.
