Results in brief
PISCOPIA Programme
The "PISCOPIA Programme" has been an innovative programme promoted by the University of Padova (UNIPD) which aimed at increasing opportunities for experienced researchers, in terms of mobility across Europe, multisectorial training and career development. It lasted 60 months and was opened to any research topic within the scientific disciplines studied at the UNIPD. Thanks to an accurate selection process, 26 talented researchers from all over the world were recruited for a 12 or 24-month fellowship. UNIPD contributed in this way to the mobility of researchers across the European Research Area and to the internationalization of the Veneto Region and the Italian Research System. The project boosted the development of other research programmes and initiatives at UNIPD to find and support the best researchers (Talent@UniPD, Supporting TAlent in ReSearch@University of Padova - STARS Grants, MSCA Seal of Excellence @UniPD) and promote innovative research lines. Piscopia fellows were satisfied by this experience which helped them to step towards an established career as independent researchers, strenghtening their scientific expertise, broadening and deepening their individual competences, in particular in terms of acquisition of multi or interdisciplinary skills and inter-sectoral experiences, setting the premises for new international collaborations.

Project objective
The “PISCOPIA Programme” is a new programme promoted by the University of Padova and aims at increasing the European-wide mobility possibilities for multisectoral training and career development of experienced researchers, in line with the objectives set out in the “Life-long training and career development” of the People work program.Increasing the amount of incoming young researchers in the University of Padova will provide benefits to the whole Italian and European Research Areas by opening a large and high quality area to trans-national research mobility. The programme will further help to reintegrate researchers into a research career in the Member States and Associated Countries.The programme will last 60 months and provides for 3 calls, awarding fellowships lasting from 12 to 24 months and included into 2 mobility schemes:- 2 incoming calls: applicants from any country inside or outside Europe (35 fellow-years).- 1 re-integration call: applicants from Member State or Associated Countries interested in returning to Europe after a mobility experience in a Third Country (10 fellow-years).All the disciplines present at the University will be open for fellowships. Three Scientific macro areas group the disciplines studied at UNIPD and cover the entire spectrum of science and scholarship: Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences, Social sciences and Humanities.In compliance with the European Charter of Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, the University of Padova will ensure that the fellows will be selected following an open, transparent, impartial and equitable selection process and will enter a research contract with the selected fellows which has all the features of an employment contract.
