What does Europe need? • An open and competitiveness European labour market for its researchers : • Training which responds to the needs of the labor market • Research career development perspectives • Financial incentives for researchers, universities and research organisations (public and private)
Which responses • The European Research Area (ERA) and the European Higher Education Area (Bologna Process) • The different European Councils • The mobility strategy for the ERA and • The Communication: Researchers in the ERA: one profession, multiple careers
Which challenges • The Communication on the role of Universities and the follow-up actions • The Berlin conference : ERA & EHEA doctorates
New Demands for Research Training • Trends: • national to international • curiosity to results oriented • individual to teams • narrow band to multidisciplinary research • small labs to research institutes and big science • fragments to programs • academic to professional
Consequences for doctoral training • Shift from endogenous academic market to a broader exogenous market • A coherent career development system particularly for early stage researchers • Necessity for broader skills development and qualifications • More structured pathways between academia and industry
Possible Instruments • Enhanced mobility with joint degreesand more research training networks: the Euro PHDs • Strategic partnerships between academia and industry • A framework for the management of research careers: The European Researcher’s Charter The Code of conduct for the Recruitment
Already existing instruments • The EU Programmes such as Marie Curie Actions of the Framework Programme and ERASMUS • ERACAREER – the Researcher’s Mobility Portal http:europa.eu.int/eracareers • ERA-MORE – the European Network of Mobility Centres
