Applicants are Spain-based researchers hosted by a public entity that proposes the challenge.

## Summary

FECYT's Convocatoria Estancias I+P funds 6-month scientific advisory stays for researchers based in Spain, hosted by a General State Administration body or linked public entity, with up to €700,000 available across the call. Applicants work individually, not as part of a consortium, addressing a defined scientific-advisory challenge for the host body. This is the second edition of the scheme, with the submission window opening 1 July 2026 ahead of the October deadline.

## Who should apply

- Researchers currently based in Spain
- Individual applicants (no consortium required)
- Researchers willing to relocate for a 6-month advisory stay
- Candidates able to work within a General State Administration body or linked public entity
- Researchers with a scientific-advisory or policy-relevant focus

## Key dates

- Submission window opens 1 July 2026, deadline 8 October 2026
- Single-stage application
- 6-month stay duration

## Tips for applicants

- Frame the proposal around a concrete scientific-advisory challenge relevant to the hosting administration body, not a standard research project.
- Confirm the host body's willingness to receive the stay before applying, since hosting is by a specific General State Administration entity or linked public entity.
- This is only the second edition of the call, so review FECYT's published resolution from the first round for evaluation criteria clues.
