The two institutions set up a program aimed at helping young researchers become group leaders.

The University of Salamanca and the Salamanca Town Council have jointly made a call for the program “Attracting Scientific Talent”. This call is aimed at young researchers (Principal Investigators) who wish to join the area of Research and Development of Salamanca and to lead research groups to establish new lines of research in the areas proposed.
