Training Visits Scheme


Training Visits Scheme

This task will activate a personnel training visits scheme among partners. The visits will aim to train individuals, as well as to transfer knowledge and allow sharing and diffusion of technological expertise. The proposed activities during the visits will not be restricted to scientific research topics, but further extended to technical capacity and marine environmental management principles. The Scientific Steering Committee will be responsible for approving the programme of work and assessing performance and selecting the candidates according to qualifications, experience and proposed plans of work.

Visits of scientists and technicians will be organised at selected PERSEUS partner institutes, who will provide training-on-the-job opportunities and hands-on experience. The goal is to put across and transfer expertise within the network, involving and engaging all Mediterranean and Black Sea countries on an equal opportunity basis. This exchange of scientists will meet the training needs of all individuals, while simultaneously, it will complement the activities of other WPs, especially in relation to case studies.

Regarding the host centers calls, the HCMR will invite partners to submit training topics focusing on scientific, technical and/or management subjects related to the marine environment and the scope of PERSEUS. The Scientific Steering Committee will assess and select the best of these and allocate them accordingly per year. The selection of the host centres will also be based on cost-effectiveness and convenience criteria for all participants while the most eligible and qualified facilities will be at the trainees’ disposal. The duration of the visits will range from a few weeks to a couple of months.
