ESASTAP has created South Africa's mobility portal. The portal has been created to promote researcher exchanges between South Africa and Europe. With the publication of the recent Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowships call for proposals, which can provide funding for European researchers to work in South Africa, typically for periods of 2-3 years, we invite all South African research and technology organisations, interested in hosting a European Marie Curie fellow, to publish details of available research positions in their organisations, which could be filled by a Marie Curie fellow. Please forward information on the research positions for publication on the mobility portal to Ms Mamohloding Tlhagale at Mamohloding.tlhagale@dst.gov.za. Details of these positions will also be disseminated by ESASTAP throughout Europe in order assist South African organisations finding possible applicants.

DESCA model consortium agreement - electronic survey
In order to facilitate the execution of FP7 projects, representatives from industry, research institutes and universities have developed a model consortium agreement called DESCA. Stakeholders are consulted to give their opinion on how the DESCA model works in practice and whether improvements are needed. The aim of this questionnaire is to listen to your real-world experience and to collect lessons learnt on the general approach and the specific articles of DESCA 2.0. Your answers to the questionnaire and your possible suggestions for modifications and/or amendments will help us to improve the current model DESCA 2.0, if necessary. The electronic questionnaire will be open until 12 August 2010.
