The UPFellows programme provides opportunities for professional development to young postdoctoral candidates of any nationality from centres abroad who wish to pursue their careers in science within Catalan territory, under the supervision of a senior scientific mentor.
Promoted by Pompeu Fabra University, this initiative has the support of the Marie Curie COFUND programme of the 7 th framework programme of the European Union and offers a total of 24 fellowships aimed exclusively at international researchers.
