Subsequently I will be examined by the Recruitment Committee. In order to cover (part of) my travel and lodging costs I will be receiving a lump sum of € 250, which will be paid by the “Envisioned” Supervisor (cf. my number one ESR position as indicated above). This reimbursement will be performed no later than 1 month after the Recruitment Event. I hereby declare that I’ve read and understood the details of the Recruitment Procedure:* Initially, the search for the appropriate candidates is based on normal recruitment strategies (e.g. publication on www.europa.eu/euraxess, etc.; personal contacts network partners). The pre- and final selection is made in a collective, fully transparent process, led by the Recruitment Committee (RC). The candidates apply for maximum three specific ESR projects and list their order of preference. Applications are made through an on-line, eligibility-proof form on the DEMETER website. The Supervisors provide the names of their preferred candidates to the Recruitment Committee, which in its turn produces a short list of candidates. As such the 20-30 most suited fellows are invited to the Recruitment Event, which coincides with the pre-kick-off meeting (Leuven, Last week of August 2015 – exact date to be confirmed). Each candidate gives a 15 minute presentation (based on a pre-delivered ppt template) and is interviewed by Members of the Recruitment Committee. The committee selects the ESRs (1) based on their scientific background and potential, (2) based on the expected benefit of scientific exchange between the trainees’ home countries and institutions and the hosts, and (3) in accordance to gender equality and minority rights. The candidates are ranked and a collective decision is made. In this way a complementary team of ESRs can be assembled. All recruitment is in line with the European Charter for Researchers, providing the overarching framework for the roles, responsibilities of both researchers and employers. The Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers functions as a set of principles and ensures that the selection procedures are transparent and fair. The recruitment strategy of DEMETER fully complies with the Code of Conduct definition of merit. For example, merit is not just measured on researcher’s grades, but on a range of evaluation criteria, such as team work, interdisciplinary knowledge, soft skills and awareness of the policy impact of science. The RC has members of each gender and considers the promotion of equal opportunities and gender balance as part of the recruitment strategy. Special efforts are made to attract women and fellows from new EU member states. DEMETER aims at a participation of 50% female ESRs in the network. Among equally qualified applicants, women receive preferential consideration. Researchers are employed on fixed term contracts and are registered as staff candidates for PhD degrees. Therefore, they are entitled to pension contributions, paid holidays, and other employment benefits as governed by the universities and industrial companies. In case not all ESRs can be recruited during the collective Recruitment Event, the recruitment procedure is “decentralised”, meaning that the involved Supervisors continue the search for good candidates. The GC is kept informed at all times when new eligible candidates appear.
