International PhD Fellowships description
The "la Caixa" Foundation initiated in 2008 a International PhD Fellowships programme to offer outstanding students from all over the world the chance of taking a PhD in Biomedicine at the CRG.
This year, 10 four-year International PhD Fellowships are offered to do a PhD in Biomedicine at the CRG.
The "la Caixa" Foundation is a non-profitmaking organisation, which receives its funding from the third biggest financial entity in Spain, the Caja de Ahorros y Pensiones de Barcelona, "la Caixa". In terms of budget and business volume, the "la Caixa" Foundation is among the ten most important Foundations in the world.
Since 1982, the "la Caixa" Foundation has run various fellowship programmes to enable Spanish students to study postgraduate courses in Spain and other countries. In these twenty-five years, thousands of students have been able to develop their studies thanks to a fellowship from the Foundation.
The "la Caixa" Foundation chose the CRG to initiate this International PhD Fellowships programme because of the excellence of its research projects, the international nature of its scientific teams, the quality of its technological equipment, the inter-disciplinary nature of its projects and the abundance of its articles published in top-ranking scientific journals and media.
The CRG is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, created at the initiative of the Catalan Government, with the participation of the Pompeu Fabra University, and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. Its mission is to discover and advance knowledge for the benefit of society, public health and economic prosperity. The CRG is located at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB). Research at the CRG is centered around six scientific programmes.
