EURAXESS
In a nutshell
38 European countries are engaged in the EURAXESS Network. It operates on national, regional and local levels and plays an important role in removing obstacles to researchers´ mobility by providing key information including immigration, funding opportunities, social security and pensions. Websites display general information; helpdesks give free and personalized assistance. On a Europe-wide job portal for research positions, vacancies and CVs can be posted free of charge.
The main target groups of EURAXESS are researchers, but also the R&D policy makers as well as the research institutions, universities and other employers are addressed.
