In 2008 the Board of Directors has approved a document defining the guidelines for granting scholarships in order to obtain a Doctoral title. Later that year the first scholarships has been awarded and since 2010 has been created two major programmes (GMPF and IPP) and various other positions have been generated by external funded projects (namely EULAKES, EDEN NEXT, ACE SAP, EUROWESTNILE, etc.). Meanwhile the Research and Innovation Centre is hosting students from national and international institutions that are developing, in collaboration with our scientists, their PhD thesis.

Nowadays many of the research groups and technology platforms count within their staff PhD students.
