Secondments

The ERA SHUTTLE project will set up temporary secondment placements (known as secondments) of research and innovation (R&I) talents (accepted applicants) between academia and non-academic partners. These placements will promote skill development and provide opportunities for international experiences and collaborations. The approved secondments will be customised to meet the talents’ specific needs when drawing out their secondment plan, focusing on improving their transferable, entrepreneurial, and research skills. Additionally, the project will include capacity-building activities such as training and workshops to support R&I development in the ERA and widening countries. These activities will be monitored and evaluated to ensure they contribute to the project’s overall goals and align with the strategic objectives of the Framework programme.

Non-academic project partners will welcome secondees for the following opportunities:
