The aim of the grants is to train doctors in companies by co-financing the labour contracts of trainee research staff who participate in an industrial research or experimental development project that takes place in companies, within which their doctoral thesis will be framed, in order to favour the labour insertion of researchers in companies from the beginning of their professional careers, contribute to the employability of these researchers and promote the incorporation of talent to the productive fabric in order to increase its competitiveness.

The industrial research or experimental development project can be executed in its entirety in the company or in collaboration between the company and another public or private entity.

With regard to the aid for stays, an aid of up to a maximum of 2,400 Euros will be authorized for the financing of the stays of these researchers in the various R&D entities to which they are attached. The intensity of aid that appears in the concession resolution will apply to the justifiable expense of such stays.

With regard to the aid for financing the costs of tuition in doctorate studies, an aid of 1,500 Euros will be authorized for each researcher hired to finance the tuition fees in the doctorate studies in a Spanish university, whether public or private, corresponding to the courses in which the researcher is enrolled during the validity of the grant.
