Financed by Generalitat de Catalunya.
Call for the incorporation of research personnel in training (FPI-UPC) for the completion of the doctoral thesis at the UPC. Opens once per year during summer, financed by UPC.
This grant is a predoctoral grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation for students to carry out a doctoral thesis associated with a research project.
Destined to the research training in doctoral programs for the achievement of the Doctoral Degree and the acquisition of university teaching competencies, in any area of scientific knowledge, that facilitate the future incorporation of these people into the Spanish system of higher education. Funded by the Education Ministry.
INPhINIT is a new doctoral fellowship programme devoted to attracting international Early-Stage Researchers to the top Spanish research centres in the areas of Bio and Health Sciences, Physics, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
“La Caixa” Foundation: offers 20 fellowships to carry out a doctorate at Spanish universities and research centres
MSCA funding for PhD students is offered within university partnerships called Innovative Training Networks (ITN). The purpose of the scheme is to bring together organisations such as Universities, SMEs (small/medium enterprises), public and private (non-commercial) research centres, non-profit organisations etc. in order to train early-stage researchers in professional environments. In doing so, researchers gain the opportunity to develop themselves through a series of individual projects as set out by the partnership (ITN) the student applies to.
The purpose of the Beatriu de Pinós programme is to award 60 individual grants for the employment and incorporation of postdoctoral research staff into the Catalan science and technology system.
The goal of this call is to encourage the recruitment of young doctors for a period of two years so that they complete their postdoctoral research training in Spanish R&D centres, other than those in which they carried out their predoctoral training.
