Asturias Talent Programme for Frontier Research at the University of Oviedo

Objective

ASTRA (Asturias Talent Programme for Frontier Research at the University of Oviedo) is an ambitious, excellence-driven programme to recruit 8 outstanding postdoctoral researchers through an open, transparent, and merit-based international selection process.
Excellence. It strengthens frontier and interdisciplinary research across four strategic domains of the Asturias Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3): Health & Biotechnology, Society & Digital Technologies, Heritage & Culture, and Clean Energy & Natural Resources. ASTRA will ensure scientific excellence, high-quality supervision, and strong mentoring. Fellows will benefit from access to state-of-the-art research infrastructures and a vibrant, collaborative research environment that promotes creativity, open science, and high-impact outputs.
Impact. Its comprehensive training programme combines advanced research competences with a strong portfolio of transferable skills, closely linked to the ResearchComp. Structured secondments with a diverse network of Associated Partners will enhance employability and career perspectives. The programme will foster talent circulation and contribute to the development of future research leaders.
Implementation. It is supported by a robust governance structure, clear quality assurance mechanisms, and well-defined supervision and career development plans. International, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral mobility are embedded throughout the programme. UNIOVI´s commitment and its established collaborations with regional, national, and international partners, ensure effective implementation and long-term sustainability.
ASTRA will strengthen research excellence at UNIOVI, boost cross-sector collaboration, and contribute to the sustainable growth and international positioning of the Asturias innovation ecosystem, as an attractive hub for excellent research, while creating a pool of highly skilled, internationally connected researchers aligned with European priorities.
