Programme of Excellence in Education and Research

As one of its education initiatives and actions, the Banco de España promotes the Programme of Excellence in Education and Research, aimed at universities and research centres in Spain.

The aim of the programme is to promote excellence in teaching and research in the fields of macroeconomics, monetary policy, finance, financial system supervision and international economics, by sealing partnership agreements with universities and research centres to provide subsidies for the following activities:

• Hiring of professors and researchers. This involves the creation of Banco de España Chairs, for which universities can appoint professors of acknowledged international prestige and excellence.
• Undertaking research projects.

The Executive Commission of the Banco de España, at its meeting on 23 February 2011, approved the award of the 2nd announcement.

There is currently no open announcement.
