BIOVEGEN collaborates with the II Edition of the ComFuturo Program

He Program ComFuturo, acronym for “A Comprivate public commitment to science and Future” and developed by the General CSIC Foundation (FGCSIC) which is oriented, is an alliance of the FGCSIC and the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) with prominent private entities in the country to respond to the unemployment of highly qualified young scientists, capturing the best young research talent and enabling them to apply their valuable skills to the resolution of problems of industrial and social interest. This is a Social Responsibility program with young research.

BIOVEGEN has shown its support for this initiative that will be presented to the European call for Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions-COFUND (MSCA-COFUND). Furthermore, in order to achieve the objectives of the ComFuturo Program, business participation is essential to maintain the successful path of public-private collaboration in research that is the program's mark of excellence.

New in this edition, the call will be open to attracting talent of any nationality and will also offer the possibility for researchers to do research stays of 2 to 6 months (over the three total years of the project) in the facilities of the participating entities. Furthermore, thanks to co-financing, it is intended to facilitate the participation of SMEs with a smaller contribution to the program, so that they can also benefit from the returns from ComFuturo.
