Welcome to AGAUR’s website!
The Agency for Management of University and Research Grants was built in 2001. Two decades have passed since then, and in that time, AGAUR, its dimensions, the programmes it manages and the context the agency works in, have evolved and changed a great deal.
The organizations original framework, established in 2001, is still alive and bright, but it is necessary to widen its spectrum with new tools that allow us to go a step further, embrace the changes that are taking place and meet new challenges.
For this reason, in the next few years we aim for our mission to be to foster a more egalitarian and free society throughout knowledge, helping people’s passions and dreams come true.
To make this happen, we are committed to the quality and continuous improvement of the services that we offer students and research personnel, as well as universities, research centres, businesses, and other institutions. With this as our goal, our quality management system, health and work safety system, and environment system possess the corresponding certifications.
On our website you’ll find information about AGAUR and the different calls for proposals for grants to study at university and other proposals aimed at research and innovation.
You can find more information about the other activities that take place at the Agency: the international activities aimed at boosting funding and R+D+I and international projection and assessment activities that are governed by the principals of transparency, excellence, impartiality, proportionality and confidentiality.
Another activity in which we are partaking, as part of the 2030 Agenda framework, is for the Agency to be in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and carry out an exercise of transparency, of accountability, of assessment of our management and efficiency in the use of public resources.
We will continue working and dedicating ourselves to making our vision come true: to be recognised as a referential institution as a result of a creative, transformative, tight-knit organisation, while enjoying the personal and professional growth at the same time.
We are an institution that is at the service of people and our knowledge society; we contribute to its holistic development and we want to continue building trust in us on every level.
