See page 19 of the
Marie Curie Conferences & Training Courses Handbook:
'This action will primarily be directed at early stage researchers. More
experienced researchers will also be able to benefit from this action where the
possibilities offered in the contract are not used for early stage researchers.
Researchers with more than 10 years of research experience (full-time
equivalent), counting from the time the degree/diploma was obtained giving
access to embark on a doctorate in the country where it was awarded, will not
be eligible for support, except in the case of researchers who are nationals of
Member States, or Associated States active outside these states at the time of
an event: these researchers shall be eligible, so that they may establish or
strengthen links with the European research community (contact building effect
for the transfer of knowledge).' |
