Applications to Call for R&D projects in all scientific domains to take place in November

FCT is committed to increasing the budget available for the Call for R&D projects in all scientific domains in 2023, so it is establishing synergies with PT2030 to be able to allocate an amount of at least 100 M€ to the funding of this project support programme, which represents an increase of 33% compared to previous Calls.

Obtaining this funding requires an articulation of the FCT projects regulation with the PT2030 regulation, which is under development, so FCT has decided to postpone, for the period 1 to 30 November, the submission of applications to Call for R&D projects in all scientific domains of 2023. This postponement will also ensure the adoption of simplified costs, which will result in greater efficiency in the time management of researchers.

Several representative entities of the scientific community were consulted in this decision, and FCT is grateful to them.
