Objectives

The overall goal of the E*CARE project is to strengthen the services of the EURAXESS Services Network (former ERA-MORE Network) members in support of researchers' mobility, and to enhance the collaboration among Mobility Centres with different background on the basis of shared experience, practices and tools. A wider strategic goal of the project is to support EC efforts for building a single labour market for researchers, and ERA as a whole.

The following more specific objectives have been identified:

  •  to gather structured information on remaining and emerging obstacles concerning researchers' career and mobility, and on recent trends at national level
  • to develop a guide of best practices related to services provided to mobile researchers, and the country approaches so as to bridge the researchers' career and mobility barriers
  • to strengthen the competences of MCs' staff through twinning and exchange of best practices and experience with more experienced EURAXESS Services Centres (former MCs)
  • to raise the awareness of EURAXESS Services Centres among a wide group of stakeholders

Its objectives are targeted at improving the overall coherence and quality of the services offered by the participating EURAXESS Services Centres. Mobility is an investment in people and leaves behind networks of people. Therefore, the project will provide EURAXESS Services members with a number of useful tools, including a collection of experiences and best practices. It will improve the collaboration among MCs, strengthen their expertise and knowledge base, their positioning in the country and raise their visibility among a large number of stakeholders. Last, but not least, E*CARE will support the national and European dialogue on career and mobility of researchers with a set of bottom-up determined measures.

The E*CARE project is a 36 month project organised in 5 work packages:

  • WP1: Survey on obstacles for researchers' mobility and career
  • WP2: National trends and Best practices
  • WP3: Mobility centres collaboration
  • WP4: Dissemination and promotion
  • WP5: Management and control

 












The E*CARE project is funded by the European Commission (FP7 PEOPLE Programme)
