PhD Fellowships

Since 1982, the “la Caixa” Foundation has offered several fellowship programmes aimed at allowing Spanish students to undertake postgraduate studies in Spain and abroad. Over the years, thousands of students have advanced their training thanks to a “la Caixa” Foundation fellowship.

In 2008, the “la Caixa” Foundation launched a new programmed aimed at national and international students. As part of this programme, each year 10 fellowhips are awarded to students who wish to complete work toward their doctoral degrees in biomedicine at IRB Barcelona. Each student will receive 95,000 euros (gross) over 4 years, funded entirely by the “la Caixa” Foundation. These generous fellowships make this programme one of the most competitive within the field of biomedical research.

The “la Caixa” Foundation has selected IRB Barcelona to participate in the programme based on the Institute’s excellence in research, the internationality of its scientific teams, the quality of its technical equipment, the interdisciplinarity of its projects and high number of publication in leading scientific journals.
