Pre-doctoral mobility aids for short stays in R&D centers 2017

It will be allocated for accommodation, living and travel expenses.

The Secretary of State for R&D&I of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness calls for grants for the financing of stays of research apprentices in R&D Centers in 2018, other than those that researchers are normally assigned to. This will help apprentices carry out beneficial activities, improving their learning and encouraging the development of their thesis. Stays must ensure a degree of mobility and / or internationalization that could not accessed through previous academic training or other factors such as residence or nationality and in no case should it cause a delay in the completion of PhD studies.

The aids may be requested for stays in other R & D centers, public or private, including foreign and Spanish companies, provided that they are located in a different place to the researcher’s usual center. The stays will have a minimum duration of two months and maximum of four months, consisting of a single period, in the year 2018.

The aids will comprise two concepts: accommodation aid; for maintenance and living expenses, and travel aid; for travel, visas and insurance.
