Mutual Learning Exercise on Research Careers

The new Mutual Learning Exercise aims to facilitate exchange among Member States on how to implement the new standards set out in the Council Recommendation on a European framework to attract and retain research, innovation, and entrepreneurial talents in Europe.

The Mutual Learning Exercise will cover the following elements:

  • Recruitment, working conditions, career development and progression
  • Skills and inter-sectoral, inter-disciplinary and interoperable careers
  • Enabling conditions for attractive R&I systems and balanced circulation of talents
  • A conducive policy and legal context for attractive research careers, including incentives for the implementation of the Charter for Researchers

This MLE, by supporting the implementation at national level of the new European standards for research careers, will foster more attractive and sustainable careers in all sectors, thus contributing to strengthening the European Research Area.
