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, drafting and revising manuscripts, presenting work in academic and policy settings and cultivating professional networks. IGOP accompanies 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 consolidating skills and building international research connections. IGOP also encourages active participation in research stays, specialised workshops and methodological training activities, supporting conference participation, international mobility and manuscript preparation. These practices foster rigorous research habits, provide spaces for constructive feedback and strengthen an ethos of continuous learning and collaboration. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n
