Secondments

Secondments will develop collaborative projects and provide an important route for international, multidisciplinary and intersectoral ESR mobility to enhance career perspectives in both the academic and non-academic areas. Secondments to the non-academic sector play an important role of ensuring that ESRs have intersectoral mobility and consolidating collaborative projects. Secondments also ensure that ESRs and all participants (beneficiaries and partners) are fully integrated into and involved in the network and its research goals. They also provide ESRs with new skills in techniques, technologies and entrepreneurship not available to them in their host institutes and from a private sector perspective. Secondments improve ESRs’ employability by broadening their outlook and developing entrepreneurial skills.
