The SECURE project has released Deliverable D4.1, detailing the Action Plans for trial organizations to implement over the next year. These plans are based on Deliverable D2.1, the First Draft of the SECURE Research Career Framework, which aligns with key European initiatives that should improve research careers and reduce precarity.
D2.1 is structured around the eight pillars and 44 recommendations of the European Framework for Research Careers (EFfRC). It addresses six critical questions for research-performing organizations (RPOs) and research funding organizations (RFOs). These questions explore the relevance of each recommendation, its connection to the European Charter for Researchers, and its potential to reduce career precarity, among other factors.
Deliverable D4.1 reveals that each trial organization, including three RPOs, one RFO, one research infrastructure, and one recruitment agency, has selected and adapted a set of 150 SECURE RCF actions. These actions provide practical, flexible guidance tailored to the strategic needs of each organization.
The trials should run for 12 months, from February 2024 to January 2025, marking a significant step towards enhancing research careers across Europe.
