Euraxess UK is part of a pan-European Euraxess initiative involving 40 countries. Euraxess aims to remove the barriers to free movement of knowledge within Europe and to strengthen cross-border mobility of researchers, students and academic staff. Euraxess UK can help researchers find jobs and funding whether they are an experienced researcher or at the beginning of their career. Their unique database allows UK and international researchers to search for research employment positions, international funding opportunities and grants. The Euraxess Services Network can also support researchers with practical information to help organise a stay or relocation to another country.

Euraxess UK assists institutions to find funding to bring researchers to their institution, and give them practical information when they arrive by becoming a Local Contact Point. These institutions can get access to training and support at the European level and the opportunity to interact with counterparts across Europe, through face-to-face meetings and online. But most importantly, they become more visible and attractive to the best researchers who are looking to relocate to the UK for a period of work. All of Euraxess services are free of charge.
