T4ERI national policy recommendations

Recommendations from the T4ERI project on diversifying and flexibilising standards for the scientific careers

About

The recommendations from the Transform4European Research and Innovation (T4ERI) project, conducted under the umbrella of the Transform4Europe Alliance (T4EU) and funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme under the call ‘SwafS: Support for the R&I Dimension of the European Universities’.

What is the aim of the policy recommendations?

Between 2021 and 2023, the T4ERI team launched a series of research-informed activities
and initiatives, examining the staff of what were then seven, and now ten, universities within
the alliance. The results of these activities, conducted under Work Package 3, entitled ‘The
Best Careers for the Brightest Minds’, resulted in recommendations for diversifying and
increasing the flexibility of standards for scientific careers. The recommendations may
serve as a national policy framework, outlined in the six key suggestions summarized by two
main objectives:

  • To support and foster the career development of researchers within the T4EU partner
    universities.
  • To highlight and emphasize the importance of career development for professional
    support staff and research management.
