Career development of international talents of the energy research fields in the Iberian Peninsula

Project description

Promoting energy storage research in the Iberian Peninsula

Energy issues, particularly those related to energy storage, pose a critical challenge to our society. European regions must prioritise scientific and technological advancements in the energy sector to effectively address these challenges. The MSCA-funded Talent4Iberia project will promote research excellence in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically focusing on the Extremadura Ecosystem of Science, Technology, and Innovation (SECTI). This initiative is offering 10 fellowships for postdoctoral researchers of any nationality. The objective is to conduct research and development activities in the field of energy storage in Extremadura. The project is closely aligned with a priority research area: energy storage. Talent4Iberia will be coordinated by the Council of Economy, Science, and Digital Agenda of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, Spain.

Objective

Talent4Iberia Programme aims to promote research excellence in the Iberian Peninsula, with primary focus on the Extremadura Ecosystem of Science, Technology and Innovation (SECTI), by offering 10 interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral fellowships with a duration of 36 months for the mobility and training of postdoctoral researchers of any nationality to develop R&D activities in the field of energy storage in Extremadura, within the Spanish-Portuguese and international cooperation framework, with the purpose to promote the development of their professional careers in an exceptional research environment.
Talent4Iberia will be promoted and coordinated by the Council of Economy, Science and Digital Agenda of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, Spain, the unit with competences in research policies and programmes in the region. The programme will be implement by 3 Spanish recruiting institutions: the Foundation FUNDECYT Science and Technology Park of Extremadura - Iberian Centre for Research in Energy Storage (Fundecyt-CIIAE), the University of Extremadura (UEX) and the Centre for Scientific and Technological Research of Extremadura (CICYTEX), and will count with the participation of 21 associated partners (13 universities, 4 research centres, and 4 companies dedicated to the energy sector, from 15 different countries: 8 EU Member States (Spain, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden), 1 HE Associated Country (Norway), and 4 Other Third Countries (Australia, Chile, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates).
The project is aligned with one of the research lines selected as a priority in the participants' policies, ENERGY STORAGE. With an international and interdisciplinary conception, it will also contribute positively to the development of territories with a high potential for scientific and technological development in the field of energy, and will serve as a pilot in the implementation of the HRS4R of the participating entities.
