EURAXESS – Researchers in motion is an initiative of the European Commission and the countries involved in the framework programs for EU research, the aim of which is to support researchers who are interested in developing their careers and their personal growth through mobility to other countries. In addition to information on further education and job opportunities, EURAXESS also provides a lot of practical information about a researcher's stay abroad in a given country.

 

This support is achieved throgh folowing four areas:

• EURAXESS Jobs – a free database of research vacancies, grants and research scholarships for domestic researchers, which allows them to search for offers based on the publication of their CV and for research organizations to publish and present vacancies and thus find a suitable expert at the European level; but also a tool for recruiting foreign researchers,
• EURAXESS Services – a network of EURAXESS contact and service centers that provide free services and individual advice to domestic and foreign researchers on mobility
• EURAXESS Rights – information on the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, rights and obligations of researchers
• EURAXESS Links – workplaces and portals for connecting European researchers working outside Europe for a long time with European organizations

 

What does EURAXESS SERVICE CENTER offer?

 

EURAXESS information and services are free of charge.

An important communication tool in the work of the centers is the European portal EURAXESS - Researchers in Motion (https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu) and the national EURAXESS portals.

The Slovak portal EURAXESS (www.euraxess.sk) is managed by SAIA in Slovak and English versions.

EURAXESS Slovakia, (www.euraxess.sk), centers for researchers and research organizations, is a part of the European network EURAXESS, in which approximately 600 service centers operate in 43 countries of the world.
