What it does
EURAXESS connects researchers with job, funding and hosting opportunities and provides information about research careers and mobility. Its European service-centre network offers free personalised assistance on topics including relocation and career development.
Distinguish the opportunity type before searching. A job, a funding call and a hosting offer can all advance a research plan but require different evidence and applications. EURAXESS puts them within a common research-career setting.
For a move, use the country information and relevant service centre alongside the vacancy. The network’s assistance is a way to investigate practical questions, while the opportunity’s own terms determine the application. A free account can save favourites and searches and manage alerts for new or expiring offers. This is useful when funding deadlines and job deadlines overlap. Keep those dates and the type of opportunity explicit in your plan so that one application process does not get mistaken for another.
