The Resolution has been published today on its website and the extract in the Official State Gazette (BOE).
This is a grant programme for universities and other Centres, which will ultimately be used for scholarships for trainees and whose total amount is 160,000.00 euros.
This is the ninth call for applications for the grant programme promoted by AIReF, following the success of previous years. To date, around 80 students have benefited from a training or research grant thanks to this programme.
The scholarships will last for twelve months for each class and will be funded from AIReF’s budget. They will be awarded to participants in the training programmes through the selected beneficiary institutions (universities and academic centres) with which AIReF will sign the corresponding agreement.
The grants are provided through two scholarship programmes:
- Training Programme, whose training work will be related to the work carried out by AIReF’s different Divisions. It will amount to €1,150/month per trainee.
- Research Programme, with a notably academic content and linked to specific projects. It will be endowed with 1,500 euros/month per student.
Eligible beneficiaries are entities and students who meet the requirements set out in Basis 2 of Resolution 2/2023 of the AIReF President’s Office.
