New rules FP6 HR & Mobility Paris-Sud 27 April 2004 Page 8 Continuity & Evolution All scientific domains are available 3rd country researchers can participate in all actions Removal of the age limit, replaced by Experience in Research Emphasis on Personal Career Development Plan Enhancement of return and reintegration mechanisms More comprehensive funding of fellowships For Schlumberger, choice between: Research Training Network Individual Fellowships Transfer of Knowledge
FP6 HR & Mobility RTN Summary Research Training Networks Advantages: Comprehensive individual and group training for PhD students Networked players Sharing of training and contract administration tasks Possible involvement of the complete supply chain: from science & technology providers to end-users Deferred recruitment. Potential issues: Collaborative Research Project with 5 years visibility Proposal preparation Recruitment may delay the effective start of the contract. Paris-Sud 27 April 2004 Page 9

Guests fellows [2 to 24 months] Or staff secondment to other Lab(s) for 1 year max with return for Transfer of acquired Knowledge during 1 year. 2. Industry-Academia Strategic Partnerships Staff exchange made possible To create or develop long-lasting strategic partnerships Paris-Sud 27 April 2004 Page 12
Conclusions Industry can and must participate Industry/Academia complementarities at training. Opportunities to attract and recruit more women in research. Host Actions to be used as Structuring Instruments, rather than mere training facilitators. Women in Research CEO Group s Position Paper: Action 4- Making Use of Existing Programmes: Each company will take full advantage of existing national and European programmes designed to support women in industrial research Paris-Sud 27 April 2004 Page 13
