The Basque Government’s Department of Economic Development, Sustainability and the Environment has launched a new call for applications for the Ikertalent aid programme. This initiative is aimed at encouraging and promoting the training of research personnel and technologists by means of their incorporation into technology centres in the Basque Country, where they can participate in the development of R&D&I projects in scientific-technological areas which, in the case of AZTI, apply to marine and food research.
In this line, AZTI offers 3 places for pre-doctoral research personnel, who will be able to participate in a 4-year project, as well as 3 places for technologist personnel, whose training will last for 2 years.
As for the financial endowment, those who participate in the pre-doctoral research projects will have 22,000 euros during the first year, 23,000 euros in the second year, 25,000 euros in the third year, and 31,500 euros in the fourth year. This amount will be complemented by 8,000 euros, available at a rate of 2,000 euros per training year, to cover the expenses derived from the training process, such as enrolment in university courses related to the grant or attendance at scientific congresses, seminars, courses and workshops.
Technologists will receive a grant of 17,000 euros for the first and second year, supplemented by 2,000 euros, available at a rate of 1,000 euros per year.
The application period is now open and applications can be submitted via the following link.
