We are living in exciting times. People describe the current era in many ways, calling it the information age, or the post-industrial age. But, above all else, we are now living in the knowledge age. http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=01_01 ###NEWS### EU makes significant progress on road to attracting third-country researchers ============================================================================= In July 2005, the European Union gave the green light to new arrangements easing the delivery of short-term visas to third-country researchers. In addition, this autumn swift passage is expected for a scheme granting non-EU researchers a special fast-track residence permit. This is a direct reflection of the desire to make Europe not only the world's biggest 'brain factory' but also its largest 'brain magnet'. http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=01_02 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Charter and Code help level research playing field ====================================================== In a bid to highlight the fundamental rights and obligations of researchers, the Commission launched, earlier this year, the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. Italian rectors have the distinction of being the first to adopt the two landmark documents and a conference on the subject is taking place in the UK this month. http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=01_03 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seventh Framework Programme draws on 'people power' =================================================== Researchers and their careers are at the heart of the Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), which proposes a doubling of funding for EU-backed research. The dedicated 'People' programme will seek to make Europe more attractive to researchers worldwide. http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=01_04 ###FOCUS### The human and owl faces of European research ============================================ Since June, the Researchers in Europe (RiE) initiative has been inviting European citizens to take a closer look at the research community through an entertaining range of activities that will run until November. This month will see researchers and the public burn the late-night oil together across the EU as they get to know each other better. http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=01_05 ###SUCCESS STORIES### Gauging Norway's pulling power ============================== The number of foreign-born researchers in Norway has more than doubled in the space of a decade, a recent study has found. Yet despite this, only limited efforts are made to provide information and assistance to incoming and outgoing research personnel. The answer: European Mobility Centres, say the researchers. http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=01_06 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Labouring to understand worker rights in an enlarged EU ======================================================= As academics from the new Member States in Eastern Europe flow west to take up Marie Curie fellowships, Scottish social scientist Charles Woolfson went the other way to find out how economic liberalisation and EU enlargement was affecting workers in the Baltic's transition economies. http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=01_07 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mobility and the muse ===================== Travel, it is said, broadens the mind. For Aki Virtanen, it has been a veritable education. The Finnish sociologist and amateur musician recently moved to Turkey, where he is teaching comparative education, to allow his daughter – who is half Turkish – to find out about her other homeland: in the process, he also learnt a thing or two. http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=01_08 ###LINKS### CHECK JOB VACANCIES ON THE EUROPEAN RESEARCHER'S MOBILITY PORTAL http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=13 GET PERSONALISED ASSISTANCE FROM THE MOBILITY CENTRES http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=4 SEND YOUR FEEDBACK ON The European Charter for Researchers and the Code for their Recruitment http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/europeancharter 'Researchers in Europe 2005' Initiative http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/researchersineurope/index_en.htm Marie Curie Actions http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/fp6/mariecurie-actions/indexhtm_en.html OTHER RECOMMENDED LINKS http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=links ###EVENTS### European Conference "The European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for their Recruitment – Turning policy into practice" - 8-9 September 2005, London, United Kingdom. http://www.grad.ac.uk/cms/ShowPage/Home_page/Events/Current_events/UK_GRAD_European_Conference/p!efbdaXd European Researchers' Night – 23 September 2005, all over Europe. http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/researchersineurope/events/event_2214_en.htm Finnish Science Weeks, National Tour – 22 September-15 October 2005, Helsinki – Oulu – Vaasa – Joensuu, Finland http://www.tiedeviikot.fi/index.asp?id=949AA56BEB74474995B10BD38DBC06CA Norwegian Science Week – 23 September-2 October 2005, Norway. http://www.forskningsdagene.no/english/ European Marie Curie Conference 2005 'Making Europe more attractive for researchers' – 28-30 September 2005, Tuscany, Italy. http://www.ifc.cnr.it/mariecurie/index.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe >> http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16#subscribe Disclaimer >> http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=16&l2=1&newsletter=disclaimer Contact >> http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ______________ EuroAtlantic Club monitoring Romania's journey towards the EU http://www.europe.org.ro/euroatlantic_club/ mail to: P.O.Box 13-166, Bucharest 70700 e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ Yahoo!
