Supporting mobility and procedures, including entry conditions, social security and taxation
The Community of Practice (CoP) Supporting mobility and procedures is one of the six thematic CoPs established within the scope of project ERA Talent: Platform for career development of researchers in Europa (project: 101103476 – ERA TALENT – HORIZON).
We address issues related to entry and residence conditions (focus 2024/2025) and social security issues (focus 2025).

The current CoP members are:
- Nuffic (The Netherlands)
- SAIA (Slovakia)
- NAWA (Poland)
- IUA (Ireland)
- AMPEU (Hungary)
Do you have experience with the focus points of this CoP and would you like to share your knowledge and good practices? We are looking for collaborators, so feel welcome to join our CoP!
Please contact our CoP coordinator Evelien Hack (ehack@nuffic.nl).
Our activities

We have been mapping the migration related hurdles, as well as best practices international researchers face in individual countries. For most countries this is also related to the EU Directive 2016/801.
Expertise was share via a questionnaire and the results are being processed at the moment. This will result in a paper, which we will share once finished.

In 2025 we organise several webinars on 'Challenges and good practices on mobility'. Explore national efforts to simplify and facilitate mobility of non-EU researchers with us! We have invited speakers from several countries to present their obstacles and good practices and love to discuss this with you.
