The MTG is part of a catalan initiative named TECNIO and through it there is a call for incorporating an experienced researcher interested in carrying out TechTransfer activities. 

TECNIOspring is a fellowship programme that provides financial support to individual mobility proposals presented by experienced researchers in liaison with a TECNIO centre (like our research group). Host institutions will offer fellows a stimulating and multidisciplinary scientific environment in which to develop their applied research projects with focus on technology transfer.

Fellows will be offered 2-year employment contracts in order to develop their applied research projects. Please note that this call presents a strong focus on TechTransfer, so candidates are required to have experience in applied research and / or technology transfer activities (at least 1 year). 

There are two types of fellowships:

• Incoming - mobility for experienced researchers of any nationality willing to join our centre for 2 years. Candidates must hold a PhD and four additional years of full-time equivalent research experience; or eight years of full-time equivalent research experience.
• Outgoing + return - Mobility outside Spain for experienced researchers of any nationality that reside in Catalonia willing to join a research or technology centre or R&D department of a private company for one year. This scheme will include areturn phase of one more year to the MTG. Candidates must hold a PhD.

Further details about the funding involved per fellowship, eligibility criteria and evaluation process are available in the programme leaflet.
