Hoping to build new bridges between academia and industry, the European Union will help some aspiring postdocs work for 2 years in industrial research labs outside their homeland.

European scientists have excelled at basic research but have done a poor job of reaping profits from innovations, says Sabine Herlitschka of the Austrian Bureau for International Research and Technology Transfer. To bridge the gap, over the next 2 years the Fellows for Industry initiative plans to place a total of 140 postdocs in companies with fewer than 250 employees. Their stipends will be paid by another European fund, and Herlitschka promises the companies will get "access to cutting-edge scientists."
