Scientific calls and facilities
For almost a century, the École des hautes études hispaniques et ibériques (EHEHI), the scientific section of Casa de Velázquez, has welcomed a community of researchers with varied profiles, engaged in a project in the humanities and social sciences related to the Iberian Peninsula, Latin America or the Maghreb, and who require a stay in Spain or Portugal. Casa de Velázquez's programs are open to a wide range of profiles, regardless of nationality. They offer research stays ranging from a few weeks to several years, depending on the program.
Researchers benefit from a stimulating academic environment, support and a framework conducive to the advancement of their work. Joined throughout the year by senior scientists hosted as part of MIAS or other mobility programs, this community forms a space for exchange, interdisciplinary dialogue and collective reflection at the heart of Casa de Velázquez.

Each year, 17 positions as members of the EHEHI are open to researchers whose projects are in line with one of the school's scientific axes. For one year, selected candidates are part of the Casa de Velázquez scientific promotion program.
