Jiloca Centre of Studies - Xiloca Research Allowance

Xiloca Research Allowance

You will receive 2,000 EUR to carry out an independent research project on the Jiloca Valley (Valle del Jiloca) in the province of Teruel, Spain, or the neighbouring mountain ranges. The amount will be paid in two instalments: 50% upon award of the scholarship and 50% following submission of the completed thesis and its approval. You will have two years from the date of award to complete the project; an extension of one further year is possible upon written application. The scholarship is provided by the Centro de Estudios del Jiloca (Jiloca Research Centre) and is awarded every two years.
