This initiative offers 10 mobility grants (up to 10,000 each) for women scientists from developing countries to pursue 3-6 month stays in Spanish institutions. The grant will provide access to advanced facilities and global networks. Grantees return home and multiply impact with new skills and collaborations. By empowering women, the project strengthens scientific ecosystems, ensures research progress, benefits communities worldwide and inspire future generations of women in science.
In developing countries, women scientists face barriers that limit career advancement and access to global research networks, leading to a persistent loss of opportunities. When supported, these scientists strengthen local innovation, reduce reliance on external solutions, and drive productivity, resilience, and economic growth. They also serve as visible role models, inspiring girls to pursue scientific careers. Building local scientific capacity is essential for sustainable development.
This initiative offers 10 mobility grants (up to 10,000 each) for women scientists from developing countries to pursue 3-6 month research stays at Spanish research institutions. Covering travel and living costs, it provides access to advanced training, facilities and networks. Grantees will return home to share new skills, promote research and collaborations and help build a stronger community of women scientists. This initiative boosts research impact and womens role in developing countries.
Investing in the training of women scientists, countries strengthen sustainable development, drive economic growth and evidence-based policies. International research stays contribute to accelerating scientific progress, boosting innovation, and positioning developing countries in the global knowledge economy. The skills and networks gained by these scientists will lead to new discoveries, technological advances and economic opportunities while promoting gender equality and diversity in science.
