Description

This report is deliverable D2.1 of the SECURE project [1] on First Draft of SECURE Research Career Framework. The report offers a first draft of the SECURE Research Career Framework (RCF) and provides an initial response to and interpretation of the new European Framework for Research Careers (EFfRC) [2] from the SECURE consortium. The aim of the project is thus not to create a completely new research career framework but to build on and link to existing initiatives to improve research careers and reduce research career precarity in Europe. This includes the revised European Charter for Researchers (Charter) [3], new European Competence Framework for Researchers (ResearchComp) [4], and updated European Skills, Competences, and Occupations (ESCO) classification [5]. The RCF is supported by proposals for tenure track-like models (TTLMs) as described in SECURE deliverable D3.1 on First Draft of SECURE Tenure Track-Like Models [6].
