Visa and Entry conditionshttps://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/information/coming-europe?utm_source=chatgpt.comRegardless of your nationality or career stage—PhD student, postdoctoral, established, or leading researcher—a wide range of resources and support measures are in place to ensure that your relocation goes as smoothly as possible.EURAXESS offers the support and opportunities you need to advance your career in Europe.Discover the practicalities of coming to Europe, including visa and entry conditions, residence permits, hosting, and EU and national regulations.If you are a researcher from outside the EU considering a move to Europe, it’s important to know that both the European Union and its Member States are working to make the process clearer and easier. Immigration policy in the EU is a shared competence, meaning that both the European Union and its Member States have the authority to legislate and adopt legally binding acts in this area. In recent years, EU Member States have significantly expanded tailored visa and residence initiatives to attract global research talent. These programs are designed to cut red tape, accelerate entry procedures, and offer long-term security for researchers.The EU Immigration Portal is an online resource that provides up-to-date, practical information on both EU-wide and national immigration rules, tailored to different types of professionals, including researchers. It offers detailed, country specific guidance on admission requirements, necessary documents, and application procedures. Available in multiple languages, the portal serves as a comprehensive and user friendly guide for navigating the immigration process across the EU.In addition, for guidance tailored to the specific country you’re moving to, visit the EURAXESS national information page to explore natinoal entry conditions, visa procedures, and support services.EU Immigration Portal EURAXESS Country InformationStudents and Researchers DirectiveThe Directive (EU) 2016/801 addresses the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals, for the purposes of research, studies, training, voluntary service, pupil exchange schemes or educational projects and au pairing. A researcher is defined as: a “third-country national holding a doctoral degree or an appropriate higher education qualification which gives access to doctoral programmes, and who is selected by a research organisation for carrying out a research activity for which the above-mentioned qualification is normally required.”The Directive applies to researchers intending to stay in Europe for more than three months. For those coming for less than three months, rules on short-term visas apply. This directive sets clearer, more consistent and transparent rules, such as: Procedural guarantees: The 90-day time limit for Member States' authorities to decide on an application will make the process more straightforward and transparent.Stay after the research is completed: Researchers will be allowed to remain for up to 9 months in their Member State of residence after finalisation of their research to identify job opportunities or set up a business. This will not amount to an automatic right to work: the researcher who finds a job will have to apply for a work and residence permit.Simpler and more flexible mobility rules: will increase the possibility for researchers to move within the EU for their projects. Family members of researchers will also be granted mobility rights.The short-term mobility period should cover stays in second Member States for a maximum of 180 days in any 360-day period. The long-term mobility period should cover stays in one or several second Member States for more than 180 days.Those rules apply to researchers in both public and private organisations. Individual European countries do not have identical rules of procedure, they need to be verified for each country. While most EU member states are participating in Directive (EU) 2016/801, Ireland and Denmark have opted out and are not bound by its provisions.About the DirectiveEU Blue CardAn EU Blue Card gives highly-qualified workers from outside the EU the opportunity to live and work in an EU Member State, provided they hold the necessary higher professional qualifications, or, where appropriate, higher professional skills, and an employment contract or a binding job offer for at least six months with a salary at least equal to, but no higher than 1.6 times, the average gross national annual salary of the country concerned. . The EU Blue Card applies in 25 of the 27 EU Member States. It does not apply in Denmark and IrelandMore information on the key provisions of the new EU Blue Card Directive can be found in the Summary of EU legislation – EU Blue Card(for example eligibility conditions, length of validity, related rights)EU Blue CardWhat is a hosting agreement?The “hosting agreement” is an agreement signed by a public or private research organisation in the Member State and the researchers, through which they both agree to undertake a research project. The research organisation can only sign a hosting agreement with a researcher if there are funds available for the research and they are satisfied with the researcher's qualifications and skills. It must include some information, notably the title or purpose of the research activity and the start and end date of the activity or its estimated duration. Moving between European countriesOnce granted the residence permit or long-stay visa, a researcher may carry out their research not only in the country of their residence permit/long-stay visa, but also in other EU Member States under specific conditions. When a researcher moves to another EU Member State, the procedure to follow varies based on the destination country and the duration of their stay: Short-Term Mobility (Up to 6 Months) Researchers planning to conduct research in another EU Member State for up to 6 months may need to submit specific documents to the national authorities. Once submitted, they can relocate immediately. Long-Term Mobility (More than 6 Months) For stays exceeding 6 months, researchers must follow country-specific procedures. Some Member States require the same process as short-term stays, while others mandate a long-term mobility permit application.Connect with EURAXESS WorldwideWould you like to link up with EURAXESS representatives outside Europe before making the move?

Find out what the requirements are and what the process is.What is short-term mobility?Directive (EU) 2016/801 provides that researchers from outside the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland can carry out their research in several EU countries. This is called intra-EU-mobility. Researchers choose a first EU Member State where they are going to carry out research. Afterwards the researcher can carry out parts of the research in one or more other EU countries.There are 2 forms of intra-EU mobility for researchers.Short-term mobility: the researcher comes to the Netherlands to carry out research for a maximum of 180 days out of a 360-day period. No residence permit is required for short-term mobility. Your residence permit in the other country is also valid in the Netherlands.Long-term mobility: the researcher will come to carry out research in the Netherlands for more than 180 days. A residence permit is required for long-term mobility.

Application Deadline: 1 Nov 2024 - 20:00 (Europe/Paris)Organisation/Company: Université de StrasbourgDepartment: Centre Européen de Sciences Quantiques - Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (ISIS)Research Field: Physics » Quantum mechanicsResearcher Profile: First Stage Researcher (R1)Positions: PhD PositionsOffer DescriptionThe development of new quantum technologies heavily relies on benchmarks against numerical simulations. However, accurately simulating quantum systems made of many constituents is exponentially complex, especially for the dynamical processes essential to many computations in fundamental physics, in quantum chemistry or in material science. Existing methods typically face the “exponential wall of complexity” which drastically limits our ability to describe complex quantum states of matter. There is an urgent need for methods that provide precise, reliable predictions for large quantum systems and pave the way for future breakthroughs. To tackle this very ambitious problem, we propose to restrict to a specific family of quantum many-body systems that undergo ‘nearly integrable’ dynamics, meaning that their dynamics on experimental time scales is non-chaotic and is governed by a proximate integrable model. Recent theory progress suggests that this family of systems is particularly promising for the development of new computational methods. This problem will be attacked through the prism of concrete toy models in one spatial dimension (spin chains), where the goal is to (i) identify quantifiers based on entanglement and quantum information concepts that are sensitive to the type of dynamics (integrable vs. chaotic) and allow to distinguish between them and (ii) develop new geometries of Tensor Network variational wavefunctions that can accurately approximate the time evolution of the many-body wavefunction and circumvent the exponential wall of complexity.The PhD position is for 3 years, and the PhD candidate will be supervised by Jerome Dubail at the Centre Europeen de Sciences Quantiques in Strasbourg, France.Where to apply: E-mail: j.dubail@unistra.frRequirementsResearch Field: Physics » Quantum mechanicsEducation Level: Master Degree or equivalentLink: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/271235Website: https://www.cesq.eu/

Accelerating uptake through open proposals for advanced SME innovation (HORIZON-CL3-2024-SSRI-01-02)Programme: Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON)Opening date: 27 June 2024Deadline date: 20 November 2024 17:00:00 Brussels timeTopic descriptionExpectedOutcome:Projects’ results are expected to contribute to some or all of the following outcomes:Development of a mature technological solution addressing EU security policy priorities in the areas addressed by the Cluster 3 work programme;Facilitated access to civil security market for small innovators;Improved cooperation between public buyers and small supply market actors for a swifter uptake of innovation in response to short to mid-term needs;Stronger partnerships between small and medium EU security industry and technology actors to ensure the sustainability of the EU innovation capacity in the civil security domain and reduce technological dependencies from non-EU suppliers in critical security areas.Scope:Europe’s 25 million small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the EU economy. SMEs can bring innovation to societal challenges, including the security of EU citizens. Innovative SMEs and high-tech start-ups can transform and modernise EU security capabilities.However, despite the innovation capacity of EU SMEs, these often experience difficulties in finding their way to the public markets. These include red tape in public contracts, access to new customers, access to finance, industrial competition and IP valorisation. These difficulties are exacerbated in markets that show restrictions of different kind, as it is the case of security.Knowing that SMEs require additional support to reach the security buyers and that the collaboration opportunities offered by the projects of the Pillar II of Horizon Europe can be a catalyst for uptake, this topic aims to offer a collaborative environment for small and medium innovators to tailor their innovations to the specific needs of civil security end-users.Applicants are invited to submit proposals for technology development along with the following principles:Focus on mature technological solutions addressing EU security policy priorities in the areas addressed by the Cluster 3 work programme.Not overlapping with the scope of the topics included in the other destinations of this work programme.Fostering collaboration between SMEs from different Member States and Associated Countries.Involving security end-users in the role of validator and potential first-adopter of the proposed innovations.Fostering collaboration schemes between small companies and research and technology organisations and/or big industrial players aimed at fostering innovative technology transfer or creating innovative business models that facilitate access to market and strengthen the innovation capacity of EU SMEs and start-ups in the domain of civil security.Examples of activities to plan in the proposed projects include, but are not limited to: assimilating market requirements; facilitating access to additional funding; approaching potential public buyers; assess competitive landscape; supporting in innovation management (methodological and process innovation, business model innovation, market innovation); assist in IP management and exploitation; provide guidance for expansion to future markets, etc.The participation of research and technology organisations should not focus on own technology development but on supporting the small industrial players in accelerating the technology transfer of innovative security solutions for their further development and production.It is encouraged that one SME takes the coordinator role[1]. Exceptions to this requirement should be duly justified.The projects should have a maximum estimated duration of 2 years.Under this topic, projects should address the one of the following areas of Fighting Crime and Terrorism (FCT, Option A), Disaster-Resilient Society (DRS, Option B), Resilient Infrastructure (INFRA, Option C) Border Management (BM, Option D). Some examples of domains that could be addressed:.Option A: Some examples of domains that could be addressed under the FCT area are: (indicative and non-exhaustive): mobile forensics; deepfake detection; detection of counterfeiting (fake items, fake currency bills) or of falsified/forged documents (passports, ID cards); detection and countering of advanced forms of malware, as well as non-cash payment frauds and other cyber-scams.Option B: Some examples of domains that could be addressed under the DRS area are (indicative and non-exhaustive): data and satellite/remote sensing information exploitation, positioning and localisation tracking and tracing, monitoring and surveillance for disaster prevention.Option C: some examples of domains that could be addressed under the INFRA area are: (indicative and non-exhaustive): physical access control, autonomous systems used for infrastructure protection, positioning and localisation tracking and tracing, monitoring and surveillance of environments and activities.Option D: under the BM area are (indicative and non-exhaustive): facilitated border checks; secure documents and identity management for border crossings; border surveillance; detection of drugs, explosives, Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN), weapons and/or other dangerous materials in customs environment; detection of stolen, smuggled, illicit or illegal goods (cigarettes, art, cultural goods, wildlife) in a customs environmentIn this topic, projects should address the EU security policy priorities in the areas addressed by the Cluster 3 work programme.In this topic, the integration of the gender dimension (sex and gender analysis) in research and innovation content should be addressed only if relevant in relation to the objectives of the research effort.Specific Topic Conditions:Activities are expected to achieve TRL 6-7 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.[1]If a MIDCAP is included in the proposal, it could also take the role of coordinator.Eligible countries: described in Annex B of the Work Programme General AnnexesA number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects. See the information in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide.Other eligibility conditions: described in Annex B of the Work Programme General AnnexesThe following additional eligibility conditions apply:Consortia must include, as beneficiaries:- A minimum of three (3) to a maximum of seven (7) partners.- At least 2 SMEs from 2 different Member States.- At least 1 end-user organisation in the areas addressed by the proposal, namely one of the following options:Option A "Fighting Organised Crime and Terrorism’’Option B ‘"Disaster-Resilient Society’’Option C "Resilient Infrastructure’’ andOption D ‘"Border Management’’, provided that the applications attain all thresholds.- At least 2 Member States must be represented in the consortium.Participation of non-SME industries and Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) is not excluded, but it must be limited to 15% of the budget.At least 50% of the budget must be allocated to SMEs.The following exceptions apply: subject to restrictions for the protection of European communication networks.
