Abstract

INGENIO, a research centre specialised in innovation studies, is seeking candidates interested in applying for postdoctoral fellowships. These fellowships are awarded by the Spanish government on a competitive basis, and are open to people at various stages of their postdoctoral careers. The three options available are:

• Juaan de la Cierva - Formación: Two-year fellowship, available for researchers with up to two years of postdoctoral experience (https://tinyurl.com/y6kj3jfz).

INGENIO have held between Monday and Wednesday the first ever virtual edition of the INGENIO PhD Days; an event that aims to contribute to the development of research capabilities, presentation and communication skills, as well as to build networks among a new generation of researchers (PhD students as well as early career researchers). 40 early career researchers of different countries attended to the event.

This Monday, 14th of December, we celebrate the first virtual edition of INGENIO PhD Days. This event aims to contribute to the development of research capabilities, presentation and communication skills, as well as to build networks among a new generation of researchers (PhD students as well as early career researchers). For this edition, we have been working alongside with Teje Redes, experts on collaborative methodologies, in order to keep on the interactive spirit of the event and to make of this an active virtual conference! PhD Days will be held between 14th and 16th of December. 

The event is just few weeks away and we want to invite you to this first online version of the INGENIO PHD Days. This event aims to contribute to the development of research capabilities, presentation and communication skills, as well as to build networks among a new generation of researchers (PhD students as well as early career researchers).

Carmen Martínez Vargas, postdoctoral researcher of the University of Free State (South Africa) will hold a virtual seminar about decolonialism next Thursday, 12th of November at 12:00.
