The Programme provides funding of doctoral students’ gross salaries, the primary aim being the delivery of a doctoral dissertation and adopting knowledge regarding basic postulates of scientific work and research.
The Programme also aims to strengthen the mentoring capacities in Croatian scientific institutions, the transfer and application of new knowledge and enhance the quality of postgraduate eudcation and scientific development of young researchers.
The Call is open for application to candidates for mentor. The mentor is the person responsible for the doctoral student’s scientific progress and should be an active researcher.
