Grants for contracts for the training of doctors at companies and other entities (Industrial Doctorates) 2024-2 of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities

From January 21 to March 6, 2025, the application period for grants corresponding to the year 2024-2 is open.

Four-year grants for various types of entities whose purpose is to promote the execution of industrial research or experimental development projects, within which a doctoral thesis is framed, in order to facilitate the employment of research personnel at the beginning of their professional careers, contribute to their employability, and foster the incorporation of talent into the productive sector to enhance its competitiveness.

The industrial research or experimental development project can be carried out entirely at the applicant entity or in collaboration with another entity, either public or private.

The grants will cover the following fundable concepts: support for financing the direct costs of the project execution and support for financing the tuition fees for doctoral studies.

These grants are aimed at companies, as well as non-profit private entities and public administrations, which in their statutes, the regulations governing them, or their social purpose, do not include R&D&I among their objectives or as an activity to be developed.
