Training
Programme
Coordinator: Raimon Jané Campos
The Training Programme of the CIBER-BBN sets out to increase the research skills of the staff forming part of the groups by improving the professional competence of the technical and research staff as a factor for change, by changing attitudes, knowledge and skills depending on the needs arising throughout development of their research work.
The main initiatives of the CIBER-BBN Training Programme are its grants for getting started in research and the mobility grants.
Mobility grants
The aim of this training programme is to act as an incentive for short stays at other research groups in order to facilitate the transfer of experience and technology and to foster cooperation between the different groups in the CIBER-BBN. These stays have to be structured in priority strategic work lines for our thematic area.

Unfortunately, administrative limitations have meant that in 2018 it has not been possible to arrange calls for grants for getting started in research, an endeavour which is very highly valued among CIBER-BBN groups since it enables young researchers still taking a master course to join the groups.
It was nonetheless possible to finance 5 contracts for traineeships lasting 6 months for young graduates with external funds from the donation collected from Caja Ingenieros every year.
The candidates were selected on the basis of the best project submitted.
In 2018 there were two mobility calls, in April and September, and a total number of 28 subsidies for stays at groups external to CIBER-BBN have been awarded.
Just one grant has been given as aid for mobility for research staff between CIBER-BBN groups,the call for these being permanent throughout the year.
