The main objective of this program is to train teacher-researchers to be able to design, create and enhance the follow-up of international research projects.  It has an eminently practical character, where attendees must come with a research project idea written up. Over the course of four weeks, students will work on the elaboration of their respective research proposals, including not only the research part, but also the administrative and economic aspects.

A Learning Management System (LMS) will be used to share resources, encourage communication among all participants, evaluate activities, etc. In addition, there will be two live online sessions per week, where the practical aspects of the course will be presented: how to read a public call for proposals, keys to a winning project, design and execution of useful budgets, etc. Speakers include Daniel Burgos, Dai Griffiths, Joaquín Alonso, Stefania Aceto and Shila Ganguly. All of them with extensive experience in international project management.
