There are calls at national level that allow international researchers to develop their projects in institutions such as the University of A Coruña. The Spanish government promotes various calls with the aim of attracting research talent of excellence, both national and international. From the OCPI, we offer you specialised advice, we will solve your doubts and we will accompany you in the preparation of your application.
