Results in brief

Career development of international talents of the energy research fields in the Iberian Peninsula

Talent4Iberia is a Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme for talent attraction to Extremadura offering interdisciplinary and intersectoral fellowships with a duration of 3 years each for the mobility and training of 10 postdoctoral researchers of any nationality to develop R&D activities in ENERGY STORAGE, with the purpose to boost their employability and career opportunities in an exceptional research environment. This programme is co-funded by the European Commission under the MSCA COFUND of the HORIZON EUROPE Framework Program, awarded under the Call HORIZON-MSCA-2022-COFUND-01 with the Grant Agreement nº 101128265. The programme is coordinated by the Regional Government of Extremadura (Junta de Extremadura), Spain, and implemented by 3 Spanish recruiting Host Institutions: 1) Foundation FUNDECYT Science and Technology Park of Extremadura - Iberian Centre for Research in Energy Storage (Fundecyt-CIIAE); 2) University of Extremadura (UEX); 3) Centre for Scientific and Technological Research of Extremadura (CICYTEX), and counts with the participation of 21 Associated Partners from 15 different countries (EU and abroad), from academia, research centres and industry dedicated to the energy sector, who will offer secondments to the selected research fellows. Talent4Iberia is aligned with the specialization pattern of RIS3 Extremadura 2027, with energy storage being a priority line of research. Its international and interdisciplinary scope of execution will positively contribute to scientific and technological development in this field. The programme is focused on generating in-depth knowledge and promoting excellent talent within a number of specific scientific and technological specialization areas in the field of Energy, in line with expertise and long-term priorities of the Implementing Partners that will recruit and host the researchers. The programme involves both academic and industrial participating organizations with strong expertise on energy technologies, guaranteeing this way an attractive, intersectoral and international ecosystem with a focus on ENERGY STORAGE.

Project objective

Talent4Iberia Programme aims to promote research excellence in the Iberian Peninsula, with primary focus on the Extremadura Ecosystem of Science, Technology and Innovation (SECTI), by offering 10 interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral fellowships with a duration of 36 months for the mobility and training of postdoctoral researchers of any nationality to develop R&D activities in the field of energy storage in Extremadura, within the Spanish-Portuguese and international cooperation framework, with the purpose to promote the development of their professional careers in an exceptional research environment.Talent4Iberia will be promoted and coordinated by the Council of Economy, Science and Digital Agenda of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, Spain, the unit with competences in research policies and programmes in the region. The programme will be implement by 3 Spanish recruiting institutions: the Foundation FUNDECYT Science and Technology Park of Extremadura - Iberian Centre for Research in Energy Storage (Fundecyt-CIIAE), the University of Extremadura (UEX) and the Centre for Scientific and Technological Research of Extremadura (CICYTEX), and will count with the participation of 21 associated partners (13 universities, 4 research centres, and 4 companies dedicated to the energy sector, from 15 different countries: 8 EU Member States (Spain, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden), 1 HE Associated Country (Norway), and 4 Other Third Countries (Australia, Chile, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates).The project is aligned with one of the research lines selected as a priority in the participants' policies, ENERGY STORAGE. With an international and interdisciplinary conception, it will also contribute positively to the development of territories with a high potential for scientific and technological development in the field of energy, and will serve as a pilot in the implementation of the HRS4R of the participating entities.
