Early-stage researchers
These are researchers at the beginning of their research career
with less than four years' active research experience:
• counted from the diploma giving access to doctoral studies
(the degree must entitle the holder to embark on doctoral studies,
without having to acquire any further qualifications) in the
country in which the diploma was obtained,
• covers the first 4 years of experience in research or the
period until a doctoral degree is obtained, whichever is
shorter.
