Strengthening researchers’ skills for better careers – leveraging the European Competence Framework for Researchers

Closed

Code: 31987 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-WIDERA-2024-ERA-01-04 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 06/12/2023 | End submission calls: 12/03/2024

Skills are of utmost importance for researchers, they allow them to perform high quality research, and to make the overall European R&I system competitive and challenges-proof. However, it is crucial that researchers are equipped not only with research-specific skills, but also with transversal skills that allow them to be interoperable between academia and the other sectors, including industry and business, and to be capable to establish entrepreneurial activities to turn innovative ideas into business and lead to social, environmental and economic profitability.

Being equipped with a wide spectrum of skills is of high benefit for researchers, who can have access to an enlarged number of opportunities for career development compared to the limited ones available in academia, but also for the labour market, which is in constant need for highly skilled talents such as researchers.

Support to the development and implementation of policies and practices for reproducibility of scientific results

Closed

It is expected that most of the activities of the actions will take place online, and that platforms and other online tools will be used to perform as many of the activities as possible.

Next generation AI and Human Behaviour: promoting an ethical approach

Closed

Code: 31976 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-WIDERA-2024-ERA-01-12 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 06/12/2023 | End submission calls: 12/03/2024

One of the key challenges is that the meaning and appropriate interpretation of the key concepts and principles in AI guidelines will often be highly context specific.
To develop affective AI systems, researchers aim to improve their understanding of the way the human brain learns and transfers knowledge. Potentially, this understanding will help to build explainable, trustworthy, and human-centric AI systems and processes.
