During the first year, the scholarship holders will develop their activities at the URJC, receiving during this period the same benefits as in the junior scholarship. During years 2, 3 and 4, the scholarship holder will carry out his academic and research work at his home university and will carry out a three-month stay at the URJC each year with the aim of continuing the preparation of his doctoral thesis.
