Objective

The RISE scheme will promote international and inter-sector collaboration through research and innovation staff exchanges, and sharing of knowledge and ideas from research to market (and vice-versa) for the advancement of science and the development of innovation.

RISE involves organizations from the academic and non-academic sectors (in particular SMEs), based in Europe (EU Member States and Associated Countries) and outside Europe (third countries).

Support is provided for the development of partnerships in the form of joint research and innovation activities between the participants. This is aimed at knowledge sharing via international as well as inter-sectoral mobility, based on two-way secondments of research and innovation staff (exchanges) with an in-built return mechanism.

The organizations constituting the partnership contribute directly to the implementation of the joint research and innovation activities by seconding and/or hosting eligible staff members.

Exchanges can be for both early-stage and experienced researchers' levels and can also include administrative, managerial and technical staff supporting the research and innovation activities of the proposal.

Requirements

Participants in the Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) shall be established in at least three different countries of which at least two must be EU Member States or Associated Countries.

If all participants are from the same sector (either only academic or only non-academic), at least one participant must be from a third country.

Researchers may be of any nationality.

Researchers receive support on the condition that they move from one country to another to broaden or deepen their competences.

Funding

Top-up alllowance of € 2000 per person/month and an institutional allowance of € 2500 per person/month
