The Estancias I+P 2026 call, promoted by the Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT) and the Oficina Nacional de Asesoramiento Científico, is now open.
This initiative gives research staff the opportunity to undertake a six-month placement in bodies of the General State Administration and other public entities, collaborating in the search for solutions to specific scientific advisory challenges. The aim is to bring scientific knowledge closer to decision-making and help ensure that public policies are based on the best available evidence. The call includes 52 scientific advisory challenges in different fields.
The grants may cover accommodation, transport and travel expenses, a possible salary supplement and up to €15,000 for the development of scientific advisory activities, in addition to other expenses associated with the placement. It also funds 25% of indirect costs (overhead).
The application must be submitted by the beneficiary entity and linked to one of the challenges proposed by the host entities.
