Survey on intersectoral mobility
The European Commission is carrying out a study on fostering industrial talents in research at European level. The overall objective is to conduct a feasibility study into whether there is a place for additional EU level initiatives in order to increase the level of intersectoral mobility in Europe. The study foresees web-based surveys of individual researchers, higher education and publicly funded research institutions, industrial and non-academic research organisations, as well as those involved in intersectoral mobility schemes.
