Description

Driven by a powerful consortium, composed of nine EUt+ partner universities, two young researcher associations (FJI from Spain and LJZA from Latvia), and two strong industrial partners (ATIT from Romania and ABG from France), the ECROS project aims to revolutionize the professional development of Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) across Europe. The project will establish a cohesive talent ecosystem designed to empower R1 and R2 researchers, equipping them with the necessary skills to thrive in both academic and industrial settings. ECROS will deliver a range of impactful outcomes, including structured career guidance, enhanced collaboration frameworks, and comprehensive support systems for ECRs. By fostering academia-industry partnerships, offering mobility opportunities through industrial PhDs and placements, and providing entrepreneurial training, the project supports the diversification of research careers. The ecosystem will include the creation of the Young Researchers Statute and industry collaboration guidelines, ensuring researchers receive continuous support and recognition throughout their careers.Leveraging the strength of the consortium, the project aligns with the EU's Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) and the Charter and Code for Researchers, promoting policy recommendations for improving ECR conditions across Europe. By integrating these frameworks with a tailored talent toolbox, ECROS contributes to shaping future talent within the European Research Area (ERA), positioning ECRs for success in both academic and industrial sectors.
