This has led the Commission to propose a new partnership with Member States. The Commission communication "Better careers and more mobility: a European Partnership for researchers" outlines what the EU Member States and the Commission together can do to ensure that the European Research Area will have the necessary researchers in the years to come. http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=15_01 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###FOCUS### Mobility barriers for researchers from the Western Balkans ========================================================== A study on mobility issues in the European Research Area (ERA) and the Western Balkan region has been published by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).

Of the over 9 000 proposals submitted, around 300 will receive funding. National governments are now stepping in to provide funding for those projects which passed the ERC quality threshold but could not receive funding from the ERC budget, provided through the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7). http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=15_03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###SUCCESS STORIES### German welcome centres for mobile researchers ============================================= Germany is making efforts to make its universities more attractive to international researchers.
