Definition of Early stage and Experienced researchers:

Early stage researcher (ESR) means researchers who, at the time of selection by the host organisation, have not yet been awarded the doctorate degree and are in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers. This includes the period of research training, starting at the date of obtaining the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the initial training activities are provided, irrespective whether or not a doctorate is envisaged.
Experienced researcher (ER) means researchers who, at the time of selection by the host organisation, are: 1) in the first 5 years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers and 2) already in possession of a doctoral degree, independently of the time taken to acquire it or 3) having at least 4 years of research experience (full-time equivalent) after obtaining the degree which formally allows them to embark on a doctorate in the country in which the degree/diploma was obtained or in the country where the initial training activities are provided.
