MOBILITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nMobility plays a key role in research training and career development. Interaction with outstanding complementary researchers, either during stays outside IBEC or by bringing people into IBEC, is essential for the progress of staff at all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently IBEC has two mobility programmes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nIBEC & ICMS Exchange Program<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
ICMS and IBEC strive to grow research talent in the fields of organ-on-a-chip, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, chemical biology, biomaterials, imaging and nano-biotechnology. Therefore, we are pleased to invite IBEC postdocs, PhD and Master Students to apply for funds to visit ICMS and expand their expertise and network. The Exchange program also allows ICMS fellows to visit IBEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Program is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities through the Centro de Excelencia Severo Ochoa Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ICMS and IBEC calls are continuously open for submitting proposals within this exchange program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IBEC Severo Ochoa Triple-I Programme <\/strong>funds short (from one to three months) stays at universities, research centres, biomedical companies and hospitals for predoctoral researchers at IBEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the framework of the Severo Ochoa programme, IBEC is launching a new call of this mobility programme at predoctoral level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nFor stays outside Catalonia at any kind of the above mentioned institutions, selected candidates will receive funding for travel and accommodation expenses.<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n
In order to promote inter-sectoral mobility, for stays of at least one month at companies or hospitals within Catalonia, selected candidates will receive a fixed amount for attending a scientific conference of their choice (registration, travel, accommodation).<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Our Training Catalogue<\/a> is a brief summary of the training courses offered at IBEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTraining at IBEC aims to develop internal talent and offer a wide array of courses designed to meet the needs of IBEC\u2019s scientists and staff across all career stages and disciplines. It complements their expertise with the continuing development of transferable skills and competencies that can help them to be better prepared for today\u2019s rapidly changing environments, thus ensuring that are given the opportunity for professional development and for improving their employability. Specifically, IBEC aims at preparing them to deliver brilliant research while giving them the opportunity to make the next steps onwards in their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIBEC Seminars and PhD Discussions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Our regular IBEC Seminars invite top names in bioengineering and nanomedicine from all over the world to help keep us up-to-date on the state-of-the-art of research in the field. IBEC seminars also offer the opportunity to network and discuss recent developments, fostering internal and external interaction and opening doors to future collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IBEC researchers also have the chance to learn from their colleagues at the PhD Discussions series of talks and skills sessions. These provide a forum for students to present the results of their research and discuss them with each other, as well as with more experienced researchers. Outside speakers are also invited to help IBEC\u2019s students in their career development by delivering talks on complementary skills such as entrepreneurship and career mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nBIST Mentoring Programme<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
BIST has created in collaboration with its seven constituent centres this programme to help junior researchers such as PhD students and postdoctoral researchers articulate their career aspirations and feel supported as they evolve as scientists or transition to a new phase in their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 35 Mentor-Mentees pairs.\n
\n- Mentees: R1 and R2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mentors: Senior Researchers, Postdoctoral Researchers, Group Leaders, Scientific Staff, and professionals working in public policy and social engagement, education, industry, or entrepreneurship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Focus on Career Development and Career Transition & Employability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Launch in October:\n
\n- October 18th BIST launches call for mentors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- October 20th BIST launches call for mentees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nPhD Committee and Postdoc Committee<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A bottom-up initiative from PhD Committee and Postdoc Committee: Mentees are Early-stage researchers (R1) who are appointed with postdoctoral researchers (Mentors) from different groups but with similar research areas\/interests. A win-win action, in which R2 will develop core skills in mentoring and R1 will receive support and guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nClinical Mentoring<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A Pilot programme for R1 with clinical mentors from Col\u00b7legi de Metges de Barcelona CMB with the aim to receive feedback from medical clinicians to strength the clinical translation of their research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
