Call for R&D projects in all scientific fields opens in November

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

Obtaining this funding requires a link between the FCT's project regulations and the PT2030 regulations, which are currently being prepared. As a result, the FCT has decided to postpone the submission of applications for the 2023 Call for R&D Projects in all scientific fields to November 1-30. This postponement will also make it possible to guarantee the adoption of simplified costs, which will result in greater efficiency in the management of researchers' time.

Various entities representing the scientific community were consulted in this decision, to which the FCT is grateful.
