The DYNAMIS programme (Doctoral programme Yielding Novel Advancements in Medicine and Innovative Solutions), co-funded by the European Commission’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions COFUND programme, brings together 33 partners from different disciplines, countries and sectors to train the next generation of leaders in biomedical research, bringing research and clinical application closer together. To achieve this goal, each predoctoral researcher has joint supervision from a more basic/translational profile.
The first call of the DYNAMIS programme, open from October to December 2025, received 243 applications. From these profiles, 5 have been selected, who will join Campus Clínic and receive comprehensive training, including access to programme-specific doctoral schools, professional development opportunities, and international and intersectoral stays. In order to reach the planned 10 positions, a second call is now being opened, the details of which are shown below.
For this second call, the deadline to present the application is 13 July, and there will be an information session on 8 June at 13:00h.
All the details to take part in the second round of applications are available at this link. The information on the website also contains various resources to prepare the application, including the list of the 33 research lines from which candidates can choose:
