The “University of Salamanca Programme to Foster Research Excellence” (USAL4EXCELLENCE) is an initiative of the University of Salamanca (USAL) funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme under MSCA COFUND actions and cofunded by the Junta de Castilla y León, which aims to recruit 40 experienced researchers. Taking a ‘bottom-up’ approach, the overall objective of fellowships will be to recognise the brightest ideas and bring brilliant minds together.

USAL4EXCELLENCE will provide fellows with training and networking opportunities that will enhance their career development and leadership potential.

The USAL4EXCELLENCE project is reinforced by the fact that the University of Salamanca has been awarded the HR Excellence in Research distinction, thus recognising its commitment to continuously improve its Human Resources Strategy for Researchers in accordance with the recommendations and principles established by the European Commission in the European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. This position will guarantee a stimulating and attractive environment for researchers and will offer the best conditions for the training of fellows.
