Barcelona GSE Seed Grants support the scientific development of our researchers, in particular the junior researchers among the Barcelona GSE Affiliated Professors.
Seed Grants finance specific activities, such as hiring a research assistant, obtaining a data set or running an experiment, that will lead to the initiation or completion of a specific project. Proposals that lay the foundation for future grant applications from other sources are particularly welcomed.
