Initial training of researchers
This activity aims to improve career perspectives of early-stage researchers in both public and private sectors, thereby making research careers more attractive to young people. This will be achieved through a trans-national networking mechanism, aimed at structuring the existing high-quality initial research training capacity throughout Member States and Associated countries in both public and private sectors.
The action will be implemented by supporting competitively selected networks of organisations from different countries engaged in research training. These Initial Training Networks (ITN) will be built on a joint research training programme, responding to well identified training needs in defined scientific or technological areas, with appropriate references to interdisciplinary and newly emerging supra-disciplinary fields.
The action will be primarily for researchers from Member States and Associated countries, but also open to researchers from third countries.
For more details, consult the FP7 - People website on CORDIS dedicated to Initial Training.
