Descripción del proyecto
Formación de una nueva generación de investigadores a escala mundial
La Fundación General CSIC es una organización privada sin ánimo de lucro creada por una iniciativa conjunta entre el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) y sus patronos fundacionales. Posee una amplia experiencia en la promoción de programas de colaboración público-privada en materia de investigación e innovación, y ahora se centra en investigadores experimentados jóvenes de diferentes países a través del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos COMFUTURO. El CSIC buscará, contratará y acogerá a quince investigadores durante treinta y seis meses en centros de investigación de diferentes puntos de España. Los temas que abordarán incluyen aquellos que contribuyen a la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible y otras cuestiones relacionadas con los desafíos estratégicos del sector productivo. El objetivo final de COMFUTURO es formar una nueva generación de investigadores versátiles y polifacéticos que lideren sus respectivos campos de especialización.
Objetivo
ComFuturo is a public-private collaboration initiative managed by Fundación General CSIC (FGCSIC), which has had 4 successful previous calls for young researchers at the national level. Now, FGCSIC wants to expand ComFuturo, attracting international talent, through a comprehensive programme that includes quality training and research secondments. This 60-month programme will offer 15 ComFuturo 36-month fellowships to Experienced Researchers (ER) of any nationality who have obtained their PhD in the last 10 years. The “ComFuturo fellows” will be selected through a single call and an objective and transparent process, which will include an external evaluation by the Spanish State Research Agency. FGCSIC has teamed up with 7 partner organisations (PO). The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) will recruit, hire and host the ER. ComFuturo research areas will include those aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that contribute, from any scientific-technical discipline, to fulfilling the 2030 Agenda; and topics proposed by PO (in consensus with FGCSIC), that help respond to strategic challenges of the productive sector. ComFuturo aspires to generate, via the promotion of highly innovative projects and science of excellence, an impact on the sustainability of the productive fabric, the environment and society. ComFuturo fellows will freely propose their research projects and their host CSIC centres. They will carry out industrial and international secondments and it will be ensured that they all have the same opportunities and can benefit from the interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international nature of the programme. ComFuturo aims to contribute to obtain a generation of researchers who are leaders in their fields of specialization, but at the same time, versatile and multifaceted, for an improvement in their employability prospects and a successful development of their professional careers, whether in the public or private sector.
