The ERA TALENT project
The ERA TALENT project aims at further developing the services provided by the EURAXESS network, through the reforming of its structure, with the aim to support the career development of researchers in Europe, expanding the career trajectories for them in academia, industry, business, the public and the non-governmental sectors. The project is also aiming to pave the way for integrating EURAXESS in the ERA Talent Platform, the forthcoming web portal of the European Commission comprehensively supporting researchers in their career development within the European Research Area, connecting researchers and institutions, and improving employability, talent absorption and mobility schemes.
