IBEC’s group leaders had as gruelling a schedule as the candidates, with some of them interviewing up to 20 of the hopefuls – including five non-attendees by Skype – over the two-day period in a ‘speed-dating’-style setup. The candidates also have to undergo a grilling each by the selection panel – Nuria Montserrat, Xavier Trepat, Raimon Jané, Josep Samitier, Teresa Sanchis and Carol Mari – as well as discussing the projects with the scientists.
The successful candidates will be selected and informed by the end of May.
