5. What is the trainees’ ideal personality, qualifications and skills? Proactive personality with a desire to learn. Self management character, with adaptatability to integrate different working teams.

Main desired skills: ability to handle large volumes of information for analysis and synthesis; management of databases and document management tools.

6. Which working language is required? An independent user level (B1 or B2) of Spanish will be desirable, and a similar level of English or French will be an asset. 7. Please give a rough description of the main daily tasks We propose to incorporate the candidate in the Technology Promotion & Transfer Area. The trainee will participate in the R & D & I management service developed by CETMAR, intensifying the tasks of strategic surveillance and knowledge management carried out in all areas of the Center. During the first weeks, the trainee will receive a special orientation to adapt to the Centre, based on learning by doing methods: a presentation of each working area



will be organized, and he or she will be orientated to use all internal communication tools (intranet and internal databases). During this first training phase, the candidate will participate on the review and update of sources of information: Institutional web pages, official journals, databases, specialized web portals (both those managed by different levels of administration, and others of Technical/scientific content), bulletins and alert systems with different periodicities, sectorial publications, social networks, etc. This resources catalog will be the main tool for the work to be developed. The candidate will be trained to select the most relevant documents or information units for the Center (calls, reports, training or information activities ...), and make a first review; determine the scope in which they fit in relation to the strategic lines of the Centre and identify the most relevant aspects as well as the direct addressee within the organization. The information will be filtered by thematic area, as it relates to one or more of the following lines: • Protection of the coast and the marine environment; pollution control • Monitoring and monitoring technologies • Fishing • Aquaculture • Marine energies • Marine biotechnology • Governance of the oceans • Industrial processes and fisheries resources. Valorization of by-products and

Marine resources. • Food safety • Management of innovation and knowledge. Technological promotion. Competitive Intelligence and technological prospective • Interaction between agents: multi-agent network management, participatory

processes • Development of the blue economy • Socio-economic valuation of ecosystem services • International cooperation • Design of training activities and teaching materials • Scientific dissemination All this will be moved to an easy-to-use, tab-type format to facilitate its internal dissemination and exploitation.



The information and analysis documents will be disseminated internally, and especially directed to main interested areas and persons. It will also be catalogued and archived. The trainee will support the maintenance of the necessary documentary records, in accordance with the requirements and rules of procedure of the internal quality management system. In this way, it will also acquire training related to the operation of an organization with a quality management system in place (ISO 9001) and will complete its capacities in relation to the management of internal information. In addition, and since the surveillance system has been designed in accordance with the provisions of the UNE: 166006: 2011 standard on technological surveillance, it should be considered that contractors will also become familiar with this standard of reference. “Universities for EU projects” – Mobility project

8. How many trainees are you willing to host at the same time? One trainee 9. What is your favourite length of the mobility period? 12 months 10. What kind of logistical support are you able to provide? (Office desk,

computer, internet connection, printer, telephone, etc.)

The trainee, as all workers at CETMAR, would have his/her office desk, computer, fast internet connection, colour and black and white printers, telephone, scanners, access to multimedia rooms, conference rooms… 11. Do you provide any economic support? CETMAR doesn’t provide a salary for trainees, but in case there is a need for travel for the development of their tasks, there are established per diems and all transportation expenses will be covered. 12. Do you provide any linguistic support? In the framework of another European Project, EMBARCATE (that finished in 2008), CETMAR published a manual to teach Spanish to foreigners, that will be available to the trainee. In addition, within that same project, a CD was designed with technical maritime language in Spanish for foreigners, that the trainee can use.



CETMAR usually organizes English training courses for its staff, and the trainee will be welcome to participate. Those courses are focused to practice conversation as well as technical language related with projects in course. In any case, most our staff speak fluent English, and the Latin roots of our mother tongue, (Galician or Spanish), make it very easy to communicate with Italian and Portuguese speakers. 13. Where would the trainee(s) work from? The trainee would work from an office in our headquarters, in Vigo, Spain (the address is Eduardo Cabello, s/n, Vigo) 14. Is there any possibility for the trainees to be hired after a successful traineeship
