Title: FP6 Marie Curie Actions
1Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
Marie Curie Host Fellowships for the Transfer of
Knowledge ToK
2Marie Curie Schemes
- Continuity and Evolution
- Bottom Up programme
- Marie Curie label generalised
- Opening of schemes to 3rd country nationals
- No age limit, but experience criterion
- Reintegration measures(including incentives to
return to Europe) - Excellence promotion
3Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
Specific objectives of the action ToK These
will be directed at European organisations
(universities, research centres, enterprises,
etc.) in need of developing new areas of
competence, as well as at furthering the
development of research capabilities in the
less-favoured regions of the EU and in the
Associated candidate countries. Knowledge
transfer fellowships will allow experienced
researchers to be hosted at such organisations
for the transfer of knowledge, research
competencies and technology.
4Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
- ToK Host Fellowships
- Higher Education, Research Centers, Enterprises
- Experienced Researchers (gt4 yrs)
- Develop new areas of competence
- Develop capabilities in LFRs and Assoc. Cand.
Countries - Industry /Academia exchange possibilities (SMEs)
- Up to 2 years stays
5Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
- Implementation
- Marie Curie Development Scheme
- Reinforcement of the research potential
of host entities in need of new area of
competence (LFR, Assoc. Candid.) - Marie Curie industry-academia strategic
partnership scheme - Creation and development of real strategic
and durable partnerships between the academic
world and the world of enterprises aiming at the
establishment of lasting collaborations of mutual
interest (SMEs)
6Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
- Implementation
- ToK Development Host
- Host experienced researchers, recruited
following an international publication of
vacancies (2 months - 2 years) - or/and
- Send experienced researchers to one or more
distinct and independent bodies in another Member
State, Associated Candidate Countries or other
Associated States for the acquisition of new
knowledge (2 months - 1 year) to be transferred
and developed by them on their return to their
home organisation (x months out - x months in) - Incoming ? Outgoing
7Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
- Implementation
- ToK Industry-Academia Strategic Partnership
- Universities/Research Centres and companies
(commercial, incubators, start-ups and spin-offs,
venture capital companies) from at least 2
different Member or Associated States - Mutually exchange experienced researchers (2
months - 2 years) develop their knowledge by the
integration of researchers in a different work
environment - Acquire new knowledge and benefit from this
when the researchers return to their organisation
of origin - Fostering new, inter-sectorial, lasting
research collaborations beyond the term of the
proposed contract, or strengthening existing
collaborations.

14Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
- Evaluation Criteria
- 1. Scientific Quality of Project
- Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
aspects of the proposal - Originality/innovative aspects of the project
- Quality and relevance of the knowledge
transfer - Definition of the project with respect to
achieving the ToK objectives
15Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
- Evaluation Criteria
- 2. Quality of Host
- Capacity of the host to transfer or receive
knowledge - International/ intersectorial research
collaborations - Quality of infrastructure / facilities
16Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
- Evaluation Criteria
- 3. Management and Feasibility
- Practical arrangements for the implementation
and management of the fellowship - Equal opportunity policy for the recruitment
of researchers - Quality of the collaborative partnership
- Match of the targeted researchers profile
to the knowledge transfer - Appropriate size of requested fellowship
- .
17Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
- Evaluation Criteria
- 4. Relevance to the objectives of the
Scheme/Activity - Development Scheme
- Benefit of the knowledge transfer for the
host - Increase the long term research capacity of
the host - Potential of the host to reach an
international level in the specified field - Industry-Academia Partnership Scheme
- Capacity to develop new, or enhance existing,
intersectorial collaborations - Benefit to the participating organisations from
enhanced intersectorial or international
collaborations - Match between project and applicant hosts
profile (synergy) - Potential to achieve lasting intersectorial
or international collaborations
18Marie Curie Schemes - ToK
- Evaluation Criteria
- 5. Added Value to the Community
- Contribution towards the objectives of the
European Research Area - Long term synergies/structuring effects built
by carrying out the proposed project at a
European level. - Increase the attractiveness of Europe for
researchers and improve the gender balance in the
scientific/training area - European competitiveness and other Community
policies including regional, national or
international activities
