Last week, at the Biennial EURAXESS Conference in Katowice, the new ERA Talent Platform was launched. The platform is a novel solution for researchers and research performing organisations.
EURAXESS is part of the ERA Talent Platform, but it contains much more. Such as the HR Excellence in Research initiative, the RESAVER pension scheme, the Innovation Talent Platform and the Research and Innovation Careers Observatory. By uniting these services under one umbrella, the ERA Talent Platform addresses the research community’s demand for a centralised hub that provides all relevant information and enhances the interoperability among such initiatives.
Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said at the day of the launch:
“Today, we are thrilled to launch the new ERA Talent Platform, a one-stop-shop for vital information and services for the research community. This is another milestone on our journey towards a vibrant, interconnected European Research Area where talent knows no boundaries. We need to attract and retain talent in Europe for research and innovation to thrive and underpin our prosperity and competitiveness.”
