Aim of the event
The webinar provided attendees with a short overview of the UK immigration landscape, focusing on the Global Talent Visa endorsed funders route. Based on UK visas and immigration information from the UK government, the presenters gave attendees general information on the available visa routes when recruiting researchers to the UK as part of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral networks (DN), Innovative Training Network (ITN) or COFUND project.
The event was not designed to give immigration advice to individuals. Any individual requiring specific immigration advice must use an adviser approved through the Office of Immigration Services (OISC) or consult their internal HR or immigration team.
This event is organised by the UK Research Office (UKRO), in collaboration with the UKRI Global Mobility Team.
Who should attend?
The webinar is for research support staff, including from HR and immigration teams, and researchers who will be responsible for recruiting individuals as part of a MSCA DN, ITN and or a COFUND project.
The event will be of relevance to those involved in projects funded under Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.
