7/7The first Staff Visit was hosted at the UPM (Madrid) in October 2025 and focused on Research funding / proposal development support and connecting research clusters. The main objective was to connect FAU staff and researchers from our proposal development support departments and our research centers with respective departments and institutes at UPM in order to facilitate further joint projects or grant applications. Activities included institutional presentations, exchanges on international funding programmes, and best practices in proposal and research support. Participants took part in a workshop on digital tools and AI for proposal development. Further sessions addressed innovation support, university–industry collaboration, and the use of Research Information Systems (CRIS). Job shadowing and one-to-one exchanges enabled networking and identification of potential research clusters. The visit concluded with site visits to UPM research centres and a final wrap-up on key learnings and next steps.
