Introduction

The “Development of Human Resources in Research” Pillar aims at the quantitative and qualitative development of human resources engaged in research activities by:

- Attracting and incorporating new researchers in the RTDI sector that have recently completed their doctoral programmes
- Training and directing new scientists that are currently preparing their doctoral dissertations in order for them to become the next generation of researchers
- Preparing the younger generations via the establishment of the view that following a career in research could be an excellent option for professional development

The second Pillar is composed of the following three Programmes:

- Programme “DIDAKTOR” 
- Programme “Support for Young Researchers-PENEK” 
- Programme “Development of Research and Innovative Culture”
