I-MOVE · Initiative for the MObility and deVElopment of researchers’careers

I-MOVE proposes to implement a new Fellowship Scheme targeting Experienced Researchers with the objective to promote incoming, outgoing and re-integration motility between European Member States on one site and all academic and Italian industrial research laboratories on the other side. The programme is aimed at promoting the development of international mobility in order to accelerate interaction between industry and the science-base in favour of competitiveness and innovation in a field that is anticipated to have a tremendous social and economic impact. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of the project, incoming and outgoing fellows will necessarily work together with colleagues having other expertises and knowledge thus contributing to create a community exchanging different experiences and expertise. The scale of the program reflects the need of the Regione Umbria to internationalize its fellowship program with the creation of a new scheme that offers researchers the opportunity to gather experience abroad and to be reintegrated into the national scientific community. The initiative will offer both long- and short-term fellowship to provide the flexibility to address scientific objectives of different complexity.
