Within the Science with and for Science (SWAFS) programme of H2020, a call for projects was dedicated to the organization of an event on researchers’ mobility and career development in Europe (SWAFS 20-2016).

Goals of the project

The project, shaped in a 2-day event organized in Paris on the 11th and 12th of December 2017, aims at guiding early-stage researchers (Master’s students, PhD candidates and doctorate holders) in the implementation of their mobility project and at promoting opportunities in the European Research Area (ERA).
A nice opportunity to gather researchers, companies and research institutes, mobility funding bodies and career advisors from different European countries!

 

Focus on international mobility

Participants can deepen their knowledge on European research landscapes and mobility schemes through a series of :

A specific focus will be made on the recruitment processes occurring in both academic and industrial sectors, for a selection of European countries.

 

Mobile researchers are facing many other challenges like pensions, dual careers and return mobility. Those topics will be addressed through testimonials and European initiatives meeting the challenges. A new opportunity to discover the practice of our European neighbours and to demonstrate once more that the European area is a real space for exchange and mixed cultures, that can inspire countries.
