Basics
• The Marie Curie Actions are the People Programme
of the 7th Framework Programme
• They fund all the domains of research
(bottom-up approach)
• They support the mobility of researchers of all
nationalities
• The applications are done through competitive
calls for proposals
• The proposals evaluation is done by independent
experts
2/81
The Marie Curie Actions support 3 of the 7 flagship initiatives of
the Europe 2020 strategy for smart/sustainable/inclusive growth:
• Innovation Union
1 million new research jobs needed
Attract and train young people to become researchers
Quality doctoral trainings, with businesses involvement
Offer internationally competitive research careers
Attractive employment conditions and gender balance
• Youth on the move
Mobility of researchers across countries, disciplines & sectors
• An agenda for new skills and jobs
Better skills for better jobs

ITN Objectives
To improve career perspectives of researchers at the earlier
stages of their careers by making research careers more
attractive to young people.
To add to the employability of the recruited researchers through
exposure to both academia and enterprise.
To eliminate cultural and other barriers to mobility.
To structure research training capacity through international
networking
To offer a joint research training programme

Initial Training Networks
ITN
Organizations
Participants: full network partners and signatories to the grant agreement.
