1.1 European Researcher’s Mobility Portal (http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/)
Part of the project is to introduce the European Mobility Portal to researchers and institutions involved in research. Registered researchers and research institutions may find each other through the portal that ensures accessibility of the 28 national mobility centres.
1.2 The network of Hungarian mobility centres
The Hungarian network consists of two bridgehead organisations and eight regional contact points. Bridge-heads serve both a general and region-related purposes that include ensuring the flow of information inside and outside the network, organising events, preparing flyers and maintaining the website. Contact points are integrated in the given higher education institutes and work at the local level. Their tasks are similar to those of the bridgeheads and include content provision, primarily in the following fields:
- visas, work permits, temporary residence permits, taxation, health insurance, pensions
- job vacancies for researchers, guest researcher posts, scholarships
- accommodation, education, language learning, cultural events
