Project description
Training international researchers in the Paris Region
Experienced researchers (ERs) from a range of disciplines and of all nationalities will be invited to participate in this fellowship programme. To foster excellence in research, they will have the opportunity to design and implement their original research project in a first-class research group in one of 13 domains of major interest endorsed by the Paris Region. The EU-funded ParisRegionFP project will launch two calls of 2-year postdoctoral fellowships, 26 applications each, in order to recruit a total of 52 ERs. What is more, this educational and research programme will be implemented by leading universities and 20 extra-academic partner organisations, covering actors from prestigious culture-related organisations and human resource actors to large industries and SMEs in various economic sectors.
Objective
The Paris Region Fellowship Programme (ParisRegionFP) aims to foster excellence in research, by training and developing international mobility and careers of outstanding Experienced Researchers (ER) from a large panel of disciplines and of all nationalities. ERs will design and implement their original research project in a first-class research group of his/her choice belonging to one of the 13 “Domain of Major Interest” labels endorsed by the Paris Region. The DIMs are key research sectors on which the Paris Region focuses policy support and investments to strengthen its international attractiveness and inter-sectoral mobility. ParisRegionFP will launch two calls of 2-year postdoctoral fellowships, 26 applications each, in order to recruit a total of 52 ERs. ParisRegionFP will offer a novel international, inter-disciplinary and inter-sectoral training programme for ERs, covering scientific, academic and industrial topics in the identified key sectors (or DIMs scientific themes) as well as hands-on knowledge in non-research oriented transferable skills. For the first time at regional level, such an educational and research program will be implemented by leading universities and 20 extra-academic partner organizations, covering actors from prestigious culture-related organizations and human resource actors to large industries and SMEs in various economic sectors. The scientific actors will ensure infrastructure capacity and high-level environment to conduct excellent research. Extra-academic partners will contribute to the implementation of ParisRegionFP by hosting ERs during secondments or visits and/or by providing training, mentoring or career development opportunities. ParisRegionFP will reinforce network structuration and complete the existing programmes of the Paris Region and its partners for increased impact, by focusing on the recruitment and the training of international emerging leaders to foster research and innovation in the Paris Region.
