The call funds cutting-edge research projects in any area of knowledge, based on ambitious and innovative ideas, with the scientific excellence of the principal investigator and the proposal being the fundamental evaluation criterion.
As a main novelty, the 2027 call extends the eligibility window and is open to researchers who have successfully defended their first doctorate up to 10 years before January 1, 2027, with the possibility of extension in certain duly justified circumstances.
The aid can reach up to 1,5 million euros for 5 years, with the possibility of requesting additional funding when duly justified.
