Postponement of the start of the evaluation process for R&D Units
The Foundation for Science and Technology, I. P. (FCT) periodically conducts international evaluations and provides funding for Research and Development (R&D) Units, in accordance with the legal framework governing institutions engaged in R&D (Decree-Law No. 63/2019 of May 16, “Science Law”).
The coordination of the evaluation and funding of R&D Units with other funding instruments that FCT is implementing, namely FCT Tenure, requires a new draft of the Call regulations.
In this regard, the FCT Governing Board hereby announces that the start of the 2023-2024 R&D Unit evaluation process will be postponed by two months. However, this postponement is not expected to have any impact on the deadlines initially announced for the completion of the process.
The Draft Amendment to the Regulation on the Evaluation and Multi-Annual Financing of R&D Units is available for public consultation.
