CONCLUSION on MSCA ITN & IAPP� ITN

o Young engineer to recruit & train

o Large Contract duration

o Low skill, but good flexibility (due to recruitment & training & duration)

o Interesting solution for R&D and recruiting engineer

o High impact on CTEC business

� IAPP

o Experimented researcher (with high salary) provided by a Lab

o Short Contract duration

o High skill, but not so flexible (due to specialization & short duration)

o Interesting solution for R&D when very good match with company

o Medium impact on CTEC business but to be seen in the future …
