Marie Curie activities н Overview
4 categories of MC activities in FP6: 1) Individual-driven actions
(individual researcher applies together with a host institution)

2) Host-driven actions
(only institution/institutions consortia can apply)

3) Excellence promotion and recognition
(excellent researchers can apply together with a host institution)

4) Return and Reintegration Mechanisms
(researchers can apply together with a host institution)

Marie Curie н Fellowships in FP 6

1) Individual-driven actions - Basics
╖ Experienced Researchers (at least 4 years of active research experience or a PhD, obtained at the latest 8 months after the relevant deadline for submission of proposals) ╖ Application together with the host institution ╖ Fellowship granted for 1-2 years ╖ Aim: advanced training and transfer of knowledge ╖ Individual Driven actions: Single stage proposal submission and Two step evaluation

Marie Curie н Fellowships in FP 6

Individual-driven actions
Three types of individual-driven actions:

╖ Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowships (IIF)
╖ Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships (EIF)
(not relevant for Russian scientists)

╖ Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowships (OIF) (not relevant for Russian scientists)

Marie Curie н Fellowships in FP 6

Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowships (IIF)
Target group: Promising experienced researchers from Third Countries to Member State (MS) and Associated State (AS) Possibility of a re-integration grant only for scientists from developing countries Aim: Training of excellent researchers from Third Countries in Europe; Knowledge Transfer to Europe and vice versa; broaden the relations between the European Community and the Third Countries
"In essence, the fellowship should enable the researcher to progress in the development of his/her career and should not represent a temporary solution. The fellowship is expected to be part of a structured, long-term

professional development plan that is coherent with past achievements and clearly defines the future aims of the researcher"
Marie Curie IIF Handbook, page 6
