Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN) are aimed at improving the career perspectives of European researchers who are in the first five years of their career by offering structured training in well defined scientific and technological areas as well as providing complementary skills and exposing the researchers to other sectors including private companies.
ECO was a collaborative action of seven groups from five EU countries. It was aimed to prepare a new generation of environmental scientists who will contribute to implementation (but not limited to) of new European legislation on chemical substances (REACH).
ECO provided eleven positions leading towards PhD, Long-Term Fellowships, (Early Stage Researchers in EU terminology). Moreover 37 Short-Term Fellowships (Early Stage Researchers in EU terminology) were appointed during 2010-2013.
