A central priority for IGOP is the development of early-career researchers. Doctoral candidates and postdoctoral fellows receive structured mentoring geared toward their consolidation as independent scholars, including support for defining research agendas,\u00a0drafting\u00a0and revising manuscripts, presenting work in academic and policy settings and cultivating professional networks.\u00a0IGOP\u00a0accompanies doctoral candidates through the final stages of their dissertations and provides guidance for competitive programmes such as Juan de la Cierva, MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships and the Early Career Workshop on Comparative Social and Public Policy (COSPPO), which help\u00a0consolidating\u00a0skills and building international research connections.\u00a0IGOP\u00a0also encourages active participation in research stays, specialised\u00a0workshops\u00a0and methodological training activities, supporting conference participation, international\u00a0mobility\u00a0and manuscript preparation. These practices foster rigorous research habits, provide spaces for constructive\u00a0feedback\u00a0and strengthen an ethos of continuous learning and collaboration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
