Economic and operational impact
The total cost of the call amounts to 747,587.84 €, which reflects the volume of positions announced and the budgetary impact for the University of Granada. The replacement rate of 120% —higher than the usual 100% in times of restriction— indicates that UGR not only replaces vacancies, but also expands its teaching staff.
From an operational perspective, the process is entirely electronic: paper applications are not accepted. This means that candidates must have a valid digital certificate or electronic ID to submit their application through UGR's electronic office.
The direct cost to the candidate is minimal: 42.50 € examination fee, with exemptions for vulnerable groups. However, the indirect cost —preparing the file, prior accreditation, travel— can be significantly higher depending on each candidate's situation.
