This pilot programme for the Spanish university system plans to incorporate prestigious researchers into Spanish universities.
The University of Salamanca and Iberdrola presented the Iberdrola VIII Centenniel chair which aims to promote research in the field of energy and sustainability. This is the first chair dedicated to the VIII Centenniel, which is included in the programme for excellence and designed for a public-private collaboration allowing the creation of research, teaching and transfer units. This will allow for the incorporation of prestigious researchers, specifically a primary researcher, who will serve as director of the chair, a postdoctoral researcher, and a third predoctoral researcher.
The example set by Iberdrola illustrates a commitment to innovation, training and research, and, as company president Ignacio Sánchez Galán declared, it is “a new process of academic excellence, international projection and social influence”.
Establishing the chair is a very important step in promoting an effective university-business collaboration since young talent will solve the future problems of our society. To be enterprising and competitive will assist us in attracting this talent.
