The dramatic evolution in technology development where science-driven engineering is taking more and more importance is motivating a deep change in the mentality of engineering schools. The role of multidisciplinarity, and the need to increase staff mobility is becoming another driving force in the composition of research groups. UPM is aware of the huge importance that human resources will have for its future. Then, as a consequence, UPM has created a set of internal programmes to recruit researchers and to promote mobility in order to facilitate this evolution and this proposal is to complement its existing programme.
