Rules for the functionning

Eligibility:
1. Being hired by IDIBAPS or any of its consortium members (FCRB, Hospital Clínic, UB, IIBCSIC) at the moment of the registration and during the development of the course.
2. Being a pre-doctoral researcher (R1) enrolled in a Doctoral programme or a post-doctoral
researcher (R2) in the first 7 years after the PhD defense.
Registration:
1. The training sessions will be announced on the IDIBAPS webpage and will be disseminated
to the R1 and R2 IDIBAPS researchers. The communication will include details on the
schedule of the sessions and the number of spots available.
2. Candidates will have to fill in an on-line registration form for every session once the
registration period is launched. A registration number will be assigned to the candidate in
order of arrival.
Criteria for the allocation of seats:
1. In case the number of candidates does not exceed the number of spots available, the list of
participants to the session will be directly published.
2. In case the number of candidates exceeds the number of spots available, a random draw
will be celebrated in the following way: the applications will be ranged by order of
registration and one number will be picked randomly and starting from that point, the seats
will be assigned following the ascending order of the list and until there is no room left.
3. The random draw will be done by the Programme Coordinator and the Programme
Manager.
Formalization of the registration and candidates’ commitment:
1. The list of participants to each session will be published at the IDIBAPS webpage and sent
by mail to the concerned persons at the announced date. Those who have not been
selected will remain on a waiting list following the order established with the random draw.
2. The attendance to the sessions is voluntary.
3. In case the registered candidate is not able to attend a session, he/she will be required to
report it to the Programme Manager a few days in advance so that those on the waiting list
might still have a chance to attend. Those who don’t attend two sessions without previous
notice will be excluded of the next coming random draws to be celebrated during the rest of
the biannual cycle.
Certificate of participation and feedback of the candidates:
1. The researchers could request a certificate of participation after each attended session in
case they need it.
2. A feedback form will be handed out to the participants after each session in order to get
their opinions on the contents, speakers and format of the sessions and with the aim to
further improve the quality of the training programme.
