Grants for the Requalification of the Spanish University System


The CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS FOR THE REQUALIFICATION OF THE SPANISH UNIVERSITY SYSTEM FOR THE PERIOD 2021-2023 is now open.

The period for submission of grant requests opens on 5 July 2021 and closes on 30 July 2021.

Three different categories are available:

Margarita Salas grants for the training of young doctoral graduates

The purpose of the call for applications is to train young doctoral graduates by subsidizing two-year training periods carried out over a continuous period at a public university in Spain, at a university or research centre outside Spain, or with a Spanish public research body (these may not be the centres at which candidates completed their predoctoral training and obtained their doctoral degrees). If the stay is carried out at a university or research centre outside Spain or with a Spanish public research body, the second year must be carried out at the University of Barcelona or at another public university in Spain, as chosen by the candidate, which may be the university from which the candidate obtained their doctoral degree.

Grants for the requalification of statutory and non-statutory university teaching staff

The purpose of the call for applications is to facilitate the requalification of the University of Barcelona’s statutory and non-statutory teaching staff by subsidizing periods of training at another university or research centre.

María Zambrano grants for the attraction of international talent 

The purpose of this call for grant applications is to attract teaching and research staff with postdoctoral careers at universities and research centres outside Spain to complete a continuous period of training at the University of Barcelona. Contracts are signed for one or two full years, at the discretion of the grant recipient. In all cases, contracts must come into effect between 1 January 2022 and 1 April 2022, except in justified cases of force majeure, at the discretion of the contracting body.
