Can the holder change employer, work independently, establish a business or conduct other professional activity? What is the family position?

Family members of a researcher on long-term transfer (type B) can obtain a temporary residence permit as a researcher's family member ('family member of researcher – mobility'), provided they hold a residence permit as a researcher's family member issued by another EU member state, valid when the application is decided. The permit is issued for the duration of the researcher's mobility. The official source does not state whether the researcher may change host, work independently or establish a business.
