Spanish postdoctoral programme promotes researcher mobility
Spain's Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) has launched a new cardiovascular postdoctoral research course which involves spending three years at leading research centre abroad and three years in Spain. The first calls for proposals for PROGRAMME 3+3 have now been launched. Successful applicants will obtain funding for six years, the first three of which will be spent abroad. The aim behind the scheme is to nurture young Spanish research talent and then provide it with an anchor within the Spanish system. Although designed with Spanish researchers in mind, the programme is, however, open to researchers in all EU countries. The programme aims to ultimately create a pool of research talent in the cardiovascular field that will greatly strengthen the Spanish research base in biomedicine. Areas to be supported range from functional studies in living organisms to biological interactions at the molecular level in any area of cardiovascular biology. Projects which integrate both of these approaches will, however, be favoured.
