“On the move” Fellowships 2022 are a bidirectional international mobility programme organised by SRUK and Crue, the largest association of Spanish Universities. This is its third edition.

The objective of this programme is to strengthen international collaborations between PhD students and researchers in the UK (SRUK members) and Spain (Crue Universities and research institutes) to:

  • Promote the contact between research groups in both countries.
  • Encourage the participation in European programmes.
  • Highlight Spanish Universities and affiliated Research Institutes in the UK.
  • Help researchers in Spain to establish contacts and gain experience with British groups.
  • Help researchers in the UK to contact with Spanish research groups to apply for return fellowships of European funding projects.

The programme offers a funded research placement of 3 to 6 months for:

  • Pre- and post-doctoral researchers without a permanent position working at Spanish Crue Universities or research centres with academic affiliation (priority to pre-doctoral researchers).
  • Pre- and post-doctoral SRUK researchers (including research fellows) without a permanent position at British Universities or Research Institutions (priority to post-doctoral researchers).
