As part of the Euraxess network, ABG hosted its first working group in Paris on February 22 and 23. Through its participation as coordinator or partner in European framework programmes (H2020-SWAFS, MSCA, COFUND), ABG is strengthening its position on the European scene.
It was in Paris, on 22 and 23 February, at the premises of our partner SBE, that this first study visit was held as part of the Euraxess[1] network.
It brought together 15 participants, representing both research organisations and institutions funding research and innovation from 7 European countries: Albania, Croatia, France, Italy, Norway, Romania, Spain.
Our programme enabled the participants to discover the specificities of French higher education as well as the mechanisms encouraging the intersectoral mobility of doctors, such as our actions (recruitment and training), the CIFRE or the CIR. We also invited 2 speakers:
- the ED coordinator of COMUE Vinci on the use of DocPro, Dr. Hendrik Eijsberg
Using DocPro for doctoral programmes
- the R&D manager at ATOS to present the two career orientations for expert/manager within the group, Dr. Frédéric Oblé:
But the real added value of the program was the sharing of experience among participants on HR issues related to career development and the organization's attractiveness strategy. Thanks to their respective presentations, participants were able to gain an overview of the HR activities in Europe, see similarities and disparities and generate new ideas to support their researchers.
The objective of this first working group is to enable the emergence of a common project around the themes mentioned above. The first outlines were presented at the end of the seminar. The next meeting of the group is scheduled to be held by videoconference in June and October to follow up on the project and the network.
