The Master Projects Fellowship Programme offered by The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) is aimed at university graduates from all over the world, to support their enrolment in the URV/ICIQ Master in Synthesis, Catalysis and Molecular Design or other Master programmes, and to follow a research project in the area of chemistry that ultimately leads to the completion of a Master’s Degree.

The Master programme will be developed in English and the students will take advantage of ICIQ’s cutting edge facilities.

These grants are addressed to highly qualified and talented graduate students with a passionate interest in chemistry research. The students will have the opportunity to join one of ICIQ’s research groups and will follow an individual master research project under the direction of an internationally renowned group leader, in a creative and stimulating scientific environment.

Selected graduate students will be awarded a grant in order to complete their Master’s research project at ICIQ.

Only one application per person will be considered.

The Scholarship is incompatible with any other grant with the same purpose.

Please refer to the attached call document with detailed information on the available positions, the grant conditions, application documents and the fellowship eligibility criteria.
