3. Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE)

RESEARCH & INNOVATION STAFF EXCHANGE (RISE) TYPE WHAT RISE WHO NEW

RISE OBJECTIVES Partnership Academic and nonacademic organisations Europe and the rest of the world Staff exchanges Projects implemented through R&I staff exchanges Staff seconded for 1-12 months Transfer of knowledge Internation al and intersector transfer of knowledge Sharing of ideas and of R&I culture

RISE OBJECTIVES The RISE scheme promotes international and crosssector collaboration through exchanging research and innovation staff, and sharing knowledge and ideas from research to market (and vice-versa). RISE involves organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (in particular SMEs), based in Europe (EU Member States and Horizon 2020 Associated Countries) and outside Europe.

RISE SCOPE Support is provided for the development of partnerships in the form of a joint research and innovation project. This is aimed at knowledge sharing via international as well as intersectoral mobility, based on secondments of research and innovation staff (exchanges) with an in-built return mechanism. Secondments shall always take place between legal entities independent from each other.

TYPE OF SECONDMENTS TYPE OF SECONDMENTS Intra-European (MS/AC) + Intersectoral (academic & non-academic sectors) International (MS/AC and TC)

SECONDED STAFF SECONDED STAFF Managerial Staff ER & ESR NEW FROM 2018! STAFF actively engaged in or linked to R&I activities for at least one month prior to first secondment Admin or Tech Staff SECONDMENTS

Who can be seconded? - Ac$vely engaged in or linked to research/innova$on ac$vi$es for at least 1 month prior to first secondment - Types of staff members: ESR (no PhD and < 4 years experience) ER (PhD or > 4 years experience) Managerial staff Administra$ve or Technical staff - In- built return mechanism SECONDED STAFF

ELIGIBILITY OF SECONDMENTS SENDING (Seconding Staff from Organisation) Academic organisation in MS/ AC (1) Non-academic organisation in MS/ AC (2) Organisation in TC HOSTING (Receiving seconded staff) Academic organisation in MS/AC (1) ý þ þ Non-academic organisation in MS/AC (2) þ ý þ Organisation in TC þ þ ý Minimum condition: 3 independent organisations from 3 different countries

Examples: Europe- Third Countries Exchanges Country MS/AC 1 MS/AC 2 TC Sector is not relevant A B C X D Same or Different Third Country! Secondments from a TC to a MS/AC are not always eligible for EU funding but all of them must be described in the proposal.

Eligibility for funding - EU Member States - Overseas Countries and Territories linked to the MS (On page 3 of General Annex A to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020) - Horizon 2020 Associated Countries (check updated list on the ParJcipant Portal) - The Third Countries listed (On page 3 of General Annex A to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020)

Eligibility for funding? Countries not listed previously are not eligible for EU funding In pracjce, those countries are mainly: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Russia, United States. In very excep$onal cases, partners from those countries might be funded. But the following condi$ons have to be fulfilled: a) This partner has competences/exper$se that no organisa$on in MS/AC has b) The relevant transfer of knowledge can only be done via a secondment in the direc$on TC MS/AC c) Points a) and b) must be endorsed by the expert evaluators

Financial Regime Unit costs per researcher per month For secondments eligible for funding Marie Skłodowska- Curie Ac$on Staff member unit cost * person/month Top- up allowance Ins$tu$onal unit cost * person/month Research, training and networking costs Management and indirect costs Research and Innova$on Staff Exchange 2 100 1 800 700 *These unit costs are subject to a funding rate of 100% and no country coefficients apply.

Financial Regime Unit cost: Each eligible secondment month generates an income for the project of 4600. - 2100 top-up allowance for researcher "Part A" - 1800 research training and networking cost "Part B" - 700 management and indirect cost "Part B" Each beneficiary will report and claim unit cost for staff it sends on secondment (+ staff received from 3 rd country partners). All calculations are automatic based on researcher declarations. How part B ( 1800+ 700) is spent and distributed among beneficiaries/partners is not determined. Each project is free to decide how to use this contribution to do the project.

Best practice A reminder about the financial regime actually mandated by the RISE grant To ensure the best conditions for the researchers/staff before going on secondment To inform seconded researchers/staff about their rights and obligations Establish a consortium/partnership agreement to settle the financial regime applicable to the project Align distribution of funds with the needs of the project Communication of results

This will be done by: 1) Carefully assessing and modelling the system itself; 2) Developing innovative products based on the issues and needs highlighted by assessment and modelling; 3) Promoting the uptake of such products by the system designing tailored business models and marketing plans. Direct engagement with selected stakeholders (divers, professionals, diving operators, certification agencies - CAs, MPAs, NGOs) will ensure relevant feedback throughout the project s lifetime, as well as effective uptake of results at the end of the project.
