"As a general rule, a researcher is defined as a person active in research, including at a training level, of at least post-graduate or equivalent level."
(Work Programme section 2.5.3)

“Researchers must be nationals of a State other than that of the host organisation. At the start of their fellowship/activity, researchers may not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference deadline for eligibility. Short stays such as holidays are not taken into account.”
(Work Programme section 2.5.3)

“In the case of a national holding more than one nationality, he/she will be able to carry out a period of mobility in the country of his /her nationality in which he/she has not resided during the previous 5 years. Short stays such as holidays are not taken into account.”
(Work Programme section 2.5.3)

Early-stage researchers (ESR) are defined as researchers in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research activity, including the period of research training. The reference period to qualify for an early stage training activity: - is counted from the diploma giving access to doctoral studies (the degree must entitle the holder to embark on doctoral studies, without having to acquire any further qualifications) in the country in which the diploma was obtained, - covers the first 4 years of experience in research or the period until a doctoral degree is obtained, whichever is shorter. Persons who have obtained a doctorate are ineligible for the early stage actions, independently of the time taken to acquire it.”
(Work Programme section 2.5.3)

Experienced researchers (ER) are defined as i) researchers having at least 4 years of research experience (full-time equivalent) since gaining a university diploma giving them access to doctoral studies (the degree must entitle the holder to embark on doctoral studies, without having to acquire any further qualifications), in the country in which the degree/diploma was obtained or ii) researchers already in possession of a doctoral degree, independently of the time taken to acquire it.”
(Work Programme section 2.5.3)

Researchers with more than 10 years of research experience (full-time equivalent), counting from the time the degree/diploma was obtained and giving access to embark on a doctorate in the country where it was awarded will not be eligible for selection.”
