Applications

Applications are to be made through the Generalitat de Catalunya's on-line applications website (OVT). A new feature is that applications through the OVT no longer require a user name or password.

All on-line applications must be signed: If a digital certificate is used for this, it will be automatically validated (all commonly used certificates are accepted by the OVT, including: IDCAT certificate, electronic ID, professional certificate signatures, Camerfirma, etc.). If a digital certificate is not used, the online application form is to be completed and sent and the acknowledgment of receipt form printed out, signed and sent by normal post to the Agency. Applications will otherwise not be accepted.

Documents

An application for the accreditation of advanced research is incompatible with an application for the accreditation of research. In the event of the refusal of accreditation of advanced research, a new application for the accreditation of research may be submitted in the following call for applications, although a new application for the accreditation of advanced research can only be made one full year following the previous call for applications to which an application has been made.

All documentation is to be submitted in format digital via the on-line applications website (OVT):

• Step one is to send the application form. The application form can be downloaded from the Generalitat de Catalunya's on-line applications website (OVT). The on-line form is to be completed and sent from the same platform on the webpage. If you do not intend to use a digital certificate, it is important to remember that, in addition to sending your application online, the acknowledgment of receipt form must be printed out, signed and sent by normal post to the Agency.
• Step two is to send the documentation called for in the call for applications. All of the documentation must be sent in digital format via the on-line applications website (OVT) (it is not necessary to send a printed copy). The documentation must be sent within ten (10) days of sending the application form:
  

1.  DOC Curriculum vitae (clink on this link to download the form provided, which is to be completed and sent via the on-line applications website/OVT). The curriculum must contain, in one of its sections, a summary that is no more than one page long of the candidate's scientific career, together with the ten best scientific contributions. The C.V. must state the specialisation according to the UNESCO codes.
