FP7 “People” (Mobility of researchers) call for proposals FP7-PEOPLE-2009-IAPP Marie Curie Action: “Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways” (IAPP) is opened. Researchers must be nationals of a Member State, Associated country or third country.

This action seeks to open and foster dynamic pathways between public research organisations and private commercial enterprises, in particular SMEs, based on longer term co-operation programmes of both the industrial and academic sectors.

The action is implemented between at least two organisations, one from each sector and from at least two different Member States or Associated countries.

Participants under this action are on the one hand, one or more universities/research centres and on the other, one or more enterprises, in particular SMEs, that propose a project based on a joint cooperation programme.

Support is provided for the creation, development, reinforcement and execution of strategic partnerships aimed at knowledge sharing and inter-sector mobility, based on targeted human resources interaction. Such partnership can be coordinated either by an industrial or an academic participant.

Exchange of research staff can be for early-stage or experienced researchers' level and can also include technical and research managerial staff. To be eligible for exchange, staff members of a participant institution must have been active continuously for at least 1 year (full time equivalent) at that institution. The support granted to eligible researchers will be for periods of between two months to 2 years.
