EURAXESS - Researchers in motion

What is EURAXESS

EURAXESS is a unique European Research Area (ERA) initiative providing access to a complete range of information and support services for European and non-European researchers wishing to pursue research careers in Europe. It offers access to the job market; assists researchers in advancing their careers in another European country and supports research organisations in their search for outstanding research talent. EURAXESS is a truly pan-European initiative, supported by 40 participating countries across Europe.

The EURAXESS portal is composed of three main sections devoted to four specific initiatives for researchers:

  • Jobs & Funding
    EURAXESS Jobs is a stress-free recruitment tool where no charges apply.
    Researchers can find a wealth of constantly updated information on job vacancies, funding opportunities and fellowships throughout Europe. Posting their CV will allow recruiters to find them.
    Companies or research institutes can post vacancies free of charge and search for the CVs of international top-notch researchers.
    Users can also directly access the national EURAXESS portals of the partner countries which contain information on research job and funding opportunities, as well as on personalised services in each country.
  • Information & Assistance
    EURAXESS Services is a network of more than five hundred Centres located in 40 European countries. These Centres help researchers and their family to plan and organise their move to a foreign country. This free personalised assistance helps researchers tackle issues such as accommodation, visa and work permits, language lessons, schools for their children, social security and medical care.
    A team of well-informed staff is at their service.
  • EURAXESS Network
    In an increasingly interconnected world, EURAXESS Network offers users the chance to interact on a global scale.
    EURAXESS Network is a networking tool supporting researchers working outside of Europe who wish to connect or stay connected with Europe.
    Whether you want to know more about European research policy, funding or further collaboration opportunities, EURAXESS Network has dedicated teams in ASEAN (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam), Brazil, China, India, Japan and North America (US and Canada) ready to assist you.
