researchers;<br />

• Capacities: support for research capacities and<br />

infrastructure;<br />

• Nuclear Research, including fusion energy research<br />

EUROPEAN GLOBALISATION<br />

ADJUSTMENT FUND<br />

This is a fund which may be available to a Member State<br />

which is faced with sudden redundancies caused by changing<br />

global trade patterns. The Member State may ask for funding<br />

to help workers who have been made redundant to reintegrate<br />

into the labour market. The funds may be used to help with<br />

finding another job or retraining.<br />
