The Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation (FCRI) supports researchers from an overall vision, by guiding, providing and helping the research community grow.
So the FCRI provides facilitator services such as the R&D Job Bank, the Researcher’s Guide or searching R&D information, in order that researchers know at every moment what is crucial for them and for their evolution within their environment.
To complement these services, the FCRI, with its wish to listen to and to support researchers, provides a virtual space to help them find answers to their questions.
The Researcher’s Guide
The Researcher's Guide is a practical handbook aimed at supporting researchers by providing specific information on procedures and formalities necessary to enter and stay in Catalonia.
Aside from information about logistics and practical issues, this guide introduces you to the Catalan R&D&I system, which involve 12 universities, about 40 research centres, 20 public research institutions, 17 science and technology parks, 10 technological centres, 9 hospital foundations, 9 large research infrastructures and 7 business schools.
The Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation (FCRI) set up and is managing the R&D&I Job Bank, a supply and demand management service aimed at promoting the entry into the labour market of scientific talent, as doctoral students, doctorate holders and researchers linked to the research field.
