The five distinguished recipients are Fotios Fronimos, Pau Solé, and Jéssica Gonçalves, who have been awarded INPhINIT doctoral fellowships, and Pablo Cano and Adrià Gómez, who have been granted Junior Leader postdoctoral fellowships.
”La Caixa” Foundation has awarded 105 new doctoral and postdoctoral scholarships to excellent researchers to carry out their projects at universities and research centers in Spain and Portugal. With the INPhINIT doctoral scholarships and the Junior Leader postdoctoral scholarships, the ”la Caixa” Foundation pursues the double objective of retaining and attracting talent to promote excellent research in these countries.
