CONEX-Plus is a training and incoming mobility program funded by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the European Commission’s Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND Action, and Banco Santander. It offers 30 fellowships to experienced researchers with up to 6 years of postdoctoral research experience.
About the Fellowships
The CONEX-Plus first call offers 20 fellowships with a duration of 3 years and a gross annual salary of €41,203.62, in addition to other economic benefits, such as family allowance or research expenses. The fellowships are based on an individual, freely-chosen project within the objectives and subjects outlined in the Research and Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) of the Community of Madrid. Projects will be implemented in one of the 27 departments at the UC3M and through a compulsory secondment in a non-academic organization. Each fellow will have two supervisors (one from UC3M and another from the secondment organization) to support their career development. The UC3M supervisor will support the fellow to propose and implement the research project. A list of UC3M supervisors can be found on the programme website.
There are three types of CONEX-Plus fellowships:
- Standard CONEX-Plus fellowships: open to researchers coming to Spain from any other country.
- Career Restart CONEX-Plus fellowships: open to researchers coming to Spain who wish to resume research after a career break.
- Reintegration CONEX-Plus fellowships: open to researchers coming to Spain who wish to return and reintegrate in a research position in Europe.
