Innovation and international networking are instrumental for developing the regional economy in several fields. The EU-funded WIT project is a highly-competitive, merit-based international fellowship programme that aims to attract 16 early-stage researchers through two open calls at the international level, with eight fellowships per call. The programme aims to provide the fellows a 36 months stay in Navarra to work on innovative projects in the fields of health, automotive-mechatronics and advanced manufacturing and energy, with artificial intelligence applied as a cross-sectional area to each of the research lines. The project’s goal is to generate a positive impact in excellent science, innovation, and talent attraction and retention.
