EU - EURAXESS NA Collaboration Opportunities
Collaboration opportunities with the USA
EU-USA cooperation
The EU-US "Agreement for Scientific and Technological Cooperation" was originally signed in 1998, renewed four times for 5 years each time and is now valid until Ocotber 2018. An historic overview of EU-US scientific cooperation is provided on the Directorate General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission website.
Current joint research and innovation priorities between the EU and the USA are: Marine and Arctic research, Health (particularly clinical trials), Materials and Transport. Targeted activities in these four areas will be developed under Horizon 2020 , the main programme for European Union science and innovation funding for the period 2014-2020.
In addition, Horizon 2020 allows European and US organisations to cooperate on topics of their own choice. To search for research and innovation collaboration opportunities, please visit the participant portal of Horizon 2020. Please note that the European Research Council (ERC) and Marie Skołodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) operate on a fully researcher-driven basis, open to researchers from the US.
Bilateral cooperation with the US
Many EU Member States/Associated Countries to the EU(*) have strong cooperation programs with the US supported by specific bilateral agreements at the governmental level or through funding agencies. In total 17 EU Member States and Associated Countries have individual S&T Agreements with the US. Practically all the signed Agreements cited S&T priority areas including: Agriculture, basic research, energy, health, and the environment (including climate change) are the most common areas of cooperation.
In all the S&T Agreements, the same basic forms of cooperative activities include:
- Coordinated research projects
- Joint task forces
- Joint studies
- Joint organization of science workshops, conferences, seminars, and symposia
- Visits and exchanges of S&T information and documentation as well as scientists, specialists, and/or researchers
- Exchange or sharing of equipment or materials
For more information please visit the websites of Member States/Associated countries embassies in the US.

CAREERS AT CERN
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before the beams are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions.
Founded in 1954, the CERN laboratory sits astride the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. It was one of Europe's first joint ventures and now has 22 member states.
You can find more information about how CERN is governed and organised here.
Current vacancies at CERN are posted here.

DR. CATARINA FERREIRA
"I believe the MSCA Fellowship has provided me with one of the greatest experiences in academia a scientist could ever have and wish for. It has allowed me to position myself better in the labor market and to achieve the level of scientific maturity I needed to understand where to steer my career next. I’ve become more interested in the past years in the topic of closing the knowledge-implementation gap in conservation science and that’s what I want to do next. I’m currently looking and applying for opportunities that will allow me to do just that and hopefully the fact that I’ve been recently invited to edit a book on the topic will help differentiate my expertise and increase my chances to get a position."
DR. GERRY ALONS
DR. GERRY ALONS More interviews with researchers"While several activities organized by the European Commission have facilitated exchange between Marie Curie fellows in the area, EURAXESS North America, through their website and presentations at US institutions, provides valuable information for funding opportunities and career prospects for both Europeans and Americans in the US, Canada and Europe. If both Europeans and Americans use these opportunities, this will increase valuable Trans-Atlantic scientific exchange."
ALANNA HIGGINS
"I think it is extremely important for researchers to have a mentor. Mentors can help when you’re stuck with a problem, aren’t sure where to go, or even just need a confidence boost. I’ve been privy to situations where people did not have good mentors and it’s really frustrating to not have any of that support. I have been lucky that during my Bachelors and Masters programs I had fantastic mentors – people who still check in with me to this day and who I can go to for advice on all sorts of matters. Having that type of professional and personal support has been paramount for my career and personal development."
DR. JODI SCHNEIDER
DR. JODI SCHNEIDER More interviews with researchers"Research is international, and ideas travel through people. Mobility between countries can be a huge boost to your career. It can be a great personal experience, too: my partner was able to follow me, so got a first opportunity to live abroad. Some fellowships, including the Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship, provide generous funding for an accompanying family."
DR. MICHAEL ELLISON
"Freeing up time to concentrate was the most important gift of the ERC, but being able to assemble both the project and a research team completely as I saw fit has also been intensely rewarding and liberating. This was the first time in my research that my two interests of composition and ethnomusicology truly could come together in an organic way."
