Community Research European Commission Marie Curie Excellence Grants Support for creation and development of new research teams in Europe, with potential to reach a high level of excellence, where such support can add value to national measures. HUMAN RESOURCES AND MOBILITY Page 17

Community Research European Commission Marie Curie Excellence Grants I • Possibilities for mobile researchers wishing to settle down in Europe and create new research groups or for researchers wishing to develop further their already existing research teams • Address the issue of brain drain • Possibilities for setting up new teams in Europe which have a potential to reach a high level of excellence. HUMAN RESOURCES AND MOBILITY Page 18

Community Research European Commission Marie Curie Excellence Grants II Proposed budget: 120 M€ for a total of 100 grants, assuming 25 grants per year of 0. 8 – 1. 6 M€ each (3 -4 years’ duration). Cost structure: -Personnel costs: to cover hiring, salaries of the team members and management overheads -Equipment costs: typically for materials and consumables -Travel costs: for the member of the teams Team members may be third country nationals HUMAN RESOURCES AND MOBILITY Page 19
