Better conditions for researchersCurrent rules for foreign researchers are too inflexible. Therefore, re-
searchers will be given simpler and easier access to Denmark.
The rules will be amended to the effect that:• Researchers are exempted from the rules on lapsing of residence permit,
i.e. their residence permits will not lapse if they give up their residence orleave Denmark for more than six months.
• Researchers are exempted from the work permit requirement for up to threemonths.
• Potential PhD students who will be participating in screening pro-grammes are exempted from the work permit requirement for up to threemonths.
• Researchers will be able to work partly in Denmark and partly abroad –and the full-time employment requirement will be abolished.
• The rules on granting residence permits to PhD students will be stream-lined to the effect that all PhD students are granted residence permits un-der the same rules, pay the same fee and have a six-month job seekingstay after handing in their PhD thesis.
• Universities will be able to change the job content within the same uni-versity without the researcher having to apply for a new residence andwork permit. However, the Danish Agency for Labour Market and Re-cruitment must be kept informed of any substantial deterioration of pay oremployment conditions in order to ensure that these conditions are still incompliance with Danish standards.
Targeting of stays for other paid work
The rules governing other paid work will be targeted so as to limit access topositions that do not require a high level of qualifications. The rules will alsoclarify which applicants are eligible for a residence permit. Therefore, specificprovisions will be incorporated in the Danish Aliens act (udlændingeloven) forresearchers, self-employed people, trainees, herdsmen and farm managers.
Targeting of the agricultural intern scheme
Foreign agricultural interns coming to Denmark must have a real educationalpurpose with their stay. Therefore, the agricultural intern scheme will be tar-geted through increased requirements in terms of e.g. language, educationalcontext and duration of the intern’s stay.
Entitlement of international graduates for unemployment benefits ongraduate terms will be limited
International labour is required to contribute actively to the Danish labour mar-ket. Therefore, the entitlement of international graduates for unemploymentbenefits on graduate terms will be limited. In future, in order to qualify for agreen card and an establishment card, the holder must not be receiving unem-ployment benefits on graduate terms. This will prompt newly graduated for-eigners to take up work, while at the same time reducing the pressure on Danishwelfare benefits.
