The EURAXESS network is a pan-European initiative in 37 countries with national web portals and over 200 Service Centers (ESCs) and Local Contact Points (LoCPs) at research institutions, established to facilitate researcher mobility by providing key practical information and qualified hands-on assistance to mobile researchers.

In EURAXESS TOP2, which builds from EURAXESS TOP and other related EU- projects, key people from 17 Partners and 13 Associate Partners join forces to enhance the overall performance, quality, effectiveness and coherence of the information and services delivered by the network by exchange of best practices achieved over the years, training sessions and updating of portals.

The interlinked Work Packages and Tasks include Charter & Code, Social Security & Pensions, Open Recruitment, Industry/Innovation, Skills, Portals, Capacity Building, Electronic Handbook updating, Promotion, and Strategic Dialogue with key stakeholders. Expected impacts: improved services + enhanced recruitment and mobility of researchers.
