9 Research & Innovation European Framework for Research Careers R1 - First Stage Researcher R2 - Recognised Researcher R3 - Established Researcher R4 - Leading Researcher

10 Principles for Innovative Doctoral Training 1) Research Excellence 2) Attractive Institutional Environment 3) Interdisciplinary Research Options 4) Exposure to industry and other relevant employment sectors 5) International networking 6) Transferable skills training 7) Quality Assurance Research & Innovation 10

11 In short: Doctoral Training should become:«triple i» International Interdisciplinary Intersectoral Research & Innovation 11

12 How where the Principles identified? The principles were adopted by the ERA Steering Group on Human Resources and Mobility (ERA- SGHRM) as part of a Mapping Exercise on Doctoral Training in Europe. The Principles were defined with the help of experts from university associations; industry and funding organisations. They reflect the Salzburg Principles of EUA, good practice in Member States and the Marie Curie experience. Research & Innovation 12

13 Wide Endorsement Council Counclusions:"Link, where relevant and appropriate, national funding to the Principles for Innovative Doctoral Training" Research Stakeholders Organisations MoUs: develop in line with Principles Subject specific: ORPHEUS/AMSE/WFE Research & Innovation 13
