In the first phase of the programme - which went from 2003 to 2010 - a total of 428 tenured associate professors were hired. In this second phase - which is being conducted during the 2012-2020 period, 500 new professors will be hired.

The selection process to choose the candidates will consist of two parts. The first will be an international campaign to inform academics of the positions offered by the universities. This part will focus on informing aspirants on the documents they will need to present when applying for one of the positions.

The second part consists in the selection process per se, with access to the positions offered and which will begin with the official call for applications.
