Training and development
- HR Excellence in research
- Training and development
The Governing Board approved the Teacher Training Framework Plan 2018-2023. This Plan is structured in three strategic axes: didactic axis, research axis and transversal axis. Based on this framework, the university is working on the design of training and professional development plans to improve the performance of the Teaching and Research Staff at any stage of their professional career.
Among its objectives are:
- Establish multidimensional training plans that encourage the continuous development of all Teaching and Research Staff at all stages of their career.
- To design mentoring plans for the first years of their professional career.
- Develop plans to foster the motivation of teaching and research staff.
- Train and support teaching and research staff in the digital transformation process.
- Promote the continuous improvement of teaching and research staff based on the evaluation of their activity.
ACTION PLANS. The actions contemplated in the different action plans have been defined by the Training Framework Plan 2018-2023 and during the different stages training actions have been defined and developed to cover the 3 axes and ensure that the training and career development plan promotes the progress of our PDI.
Action Plan 2022-2024_actions Pillar IV - Training and development
The actions contemplated in this Pillar are very much focused on improving activities that have been carried out during previous action plans, but also include new initiatives, such as the Leadership Program and the Networking Breakfasts.

T7_ Development of a UC3M Mentoring pilot program for PDI
The goal is to connect early-stage researchers, from any field of knowledge, who are interested in their career options beyond the traditional academic career, with highly-qualified mentors working in professional settings, inside or outside of academia.
The pilot project has been developed with 23 Mentor-Mentee couples with very satisfactory results. The project has been rated by the Mentes with a score of 4.2 (out of 5) and they have rated their Mentors with a score of 4.6 (out of 5). The impact on the Mentees has been positive, as evidenced by the feedback they have made about the show..( Pdf T7- Programa Mentoring)
In the Human Resources Service we have the firm vocation of accompanying our young researchers in this transition stage and providing them with a closer knowledge of the skills and knowledge most in demand in business and research environments outside of the Academy.
This project has positioned us as one of the first public universities to have developed a mentoring program focused on its researchers.
