Spain's National Geographic Institute Opens 16 Training Grants Worth €1,200 a Month
By a resolution dated October 5, Spain's Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has published the National Geographic Institute's (IGN) new call for training grants: 16 places for university graduates who finished their studies within the last four years. Applications run for twenty working days from publication of the call in the Official State Gazette, from October 23 to November 23, through the ministry's electronic headquarters.
Each grant pays €1,200 a month, or €1,300 for those based at the Geophysical Centre of the Canary Islands. The training lasts twelve months and can be renewed in yearly periods for up to a further 36 months. Placements are at the institute's Madrid headquarters and the Royal Observatory of Madrid, the Yebes Observatory in Guadalajara, and the Geophysical Centre in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with a planned start date of March 1, 2027.
The grants cover seven fields: astronomy, astronomical and geo-spatial instrumentation, geodesy, geophysics, cartography, geo-spatial information technology, and geographic, cartographic and bibliographic documentation.
The IGN is Spain's agency for astronomical observation, geodesy, earthquake and volcano monitoring and official cartography, and its annual grants are its regular route for training specialist staff.
