The comparative lack of researchers is particularly visible in business, with almost a third fewer researchers employed in this sector compared to the US! Practical changes are needed to turn this around, to help researchers find a job and to keep the European Research Area competitive internationally. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=10_01 >From Russia with Love ===================== A Russian researcher was hoping to travel to Sweden to carry out research at an institute there. However, with little experience in the practicalities involved and with few administrators, the would-be host institute could not offer much assistance to the travelling professor. And the researcher himself had little time to make enquiries and the necessary arrangements for his move. Where could he turn for advice? http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=10_02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###SUCCESS STORIES### Give us a (tax) break! ====================== At one time or another, most of us are likely to have complained that we are paying too much tax. However, for international researchers moving to or from Estonia, this may in fact be true. Thirteen of Estonia's numerous bilateral tax agreements with other countries include a special clause which exempts teachers, professors and researchers from income tax for two years. Until very recently, this was far from common knowledge. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=10_03 An excellent result: European researcher returns ================================================ After spending several years working on biophysics in the United States, Austrian-born Robert Schwarzenbacher felt ready to return to Europe. Looking for the opportunity to lead his own scientific team in the field of protein structures, he began to hunt for funding to turn his dream into reality. Thanks to frequent discussions with fellow researchers in San Diego, the professor had heard about the Marie Curie Excellence Grants… http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=10_04 A positive reaction: Indian chemical scientist makes it to Spain ================================================================ When Ralte Lalrempui, from Mizoram in India decided to undertake research in Spain, he thought he would have enough on his plate with the language barrier and differences in culture. But then he came across another obstacle – he needed both a work visa and official approval of the PhD he had gained in his home country, and it turned out that the latter would not be so straightforward to obtain. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=10_05 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###LINKS### CHECK JOB VACANCIES ON THE EUROPEAN RESEARCHER'S MOBILITY PORTAL http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=13 GET PERSONALISED ASSISTANCE FROM THE MOBILITY CENTRES http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=4 SEND YOUR FEEDBACK ON The European Charter for Researchers and the Code for their Recruitment http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/europeancharter 'Researchers in Europe 2005' Initiative http://ec.europa.eu/comm/research/researchersineurope/index_en.htm Marie Curie Actions http://ec.europa.eu/comm/research/fp6/mariecurie-actions/indexhtm_en.html OTHER RECOMMENDED LINKS http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=links ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###EVENTS### German Presidency Conference "EUR-FUTURE: European Researchers of Tomorrow – Crossing the borders of Academia and Industry" Stuttgart, 13-15 May 2007 >> http://www.eur-future.eu/ FP7/PEOPLE Calls >> http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.PeopleCallsPage&id_activity=12 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe >> http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23#subscribe Disclaimer >> http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=disclaimer Contact >> http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** sustineti [romania_eu_list] prin 2% din impozitul pe 2006 - detalii la http://www.doilasuta.ro *** Yahoo!
