International Doctoral Programme for Talent Attraction to the Campus of International Excellence of the Ebro Valley

The IberusTalent Doctoral Programme for Talent Attraction to the Campus of International Excellence of the Ebro Valley aimed at boosting highly skilled human resources and R&I capacity of the four public universities in the consortium of Campus Iberus. The IberusTalent programme’s first goal was to attract 36 talented researchers at early stages of their careers to develop their PhD projects at any of the Campus Iberus four universities: University of Zaragoza, Public University of Navarre, University of Lleida and University of La Rioja. The ultimate goal was to enhance the excellence and international dimension of the research community in the Ebro Valley. Thanks to this MSCA Cofund programme a significant number of PhDs candidates became scientists and that was happening in the Ebro Valley regions of Campus Iberus, connected by a river, well-known internationally, and now becoming a driving force for science and knowledge in Agrofood and Nutrition and in Health Technologies. To definitely make an impact on the society, the programme specific objectives were the following: - To attract talented researchers to the Ebro Valley regions to become PhDs and future scientists that will shape the progress of the R&I ecosystem. - To build an interconnected, multicultural and international researchers’ community working on interdisciplinary projects of excellence in Agrofood and Nutrition and Health Technologies. - To support the career development of the recruited researchers by being trained and exposed to as many collaborators as possible from different sectors and countries. - To reinforce the international visibility of Campus Iberus as the International Campus of Excellence of the Ebro Valle. - To challenge and modernise the current institutional structures and services to manage an expanding and long lasting international research community growing at the Universities of Campus Iberus. - To disseminate science and become active social actors and role models to others to promote a knowledge based society.
