Today, November 10, 2025, marks the official opening of the application period for postdoctoral researcher incorporation grants in the Balearic Islands. These grants reflect a strong commitment to strengthening research careers and providing greater job stability for scientists at different stages of their professional paths.

This year’s call offers 25 grants across three distinct programmes, supporting newly qualified PhDs, experienced researchers, and even one position for companies. A key improvement is the extension of contracts to three years, a step that ensures continuity for research projects and enhances long-term career prospects for beneficiaries.

Application period opens for postdoctoral grants boosting stability and scientific talent in the Balearic Islands

Another notable feature is the full 100 % advance payment of the grant, a measure that demonstrates an awareness of the financial challenges faced by research centres and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. This approach may help retain scientific talent within the islands and reduce the need for researchers to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Overall, the initiative represents an ambitious effort to promote research while strengthening the scientific and technological ecosystem of the Balearic Islands. If implemented effectively, it could become a vital tool for attracting and retaining top researchers in a global environment where stability, investment, and long-term vision are essential.
