Following the Agreement signed between the “Estrutura de Missão Recuperar Portugal (EMRP)” and the Intermediary Beneficiary “Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. (FCT)”, the Notice for this call is republished in order to:

i) Introduce the PRR reference (02/C06-i06/2024) and clarify the programme's framework within the respective PRR sub-measure through the inclusion of a preamble and an annex with the description of this sub-measure.
ii) Clarify the legal provisions of non-discrimination, equal access, and treatment and circulation of personal data within the scope of this call.

All introduced clarifications are highlighted in gray, without implying any changes to the call, funding model, eligibility criteria, evaluation process, or procedures associated with the submission of applications, regardless of the funding source associated with each application or funded position (PRR or State Budget).

FCT informs that a mistake was detected in the Application Guide, page 15, section 2.2 "Profile of the research staff of the Host Institution". Where it was mentioned "For each row, indicate the corresponding integer number existing in the Hiring Institution", it should be " "For each row, indicate the corresponding integer number existing in the Host Institution".

The document was corrected and replaced.

FCT makes available an application form template for the 1st Edition of the "FCT-Tenure" call, which aims to help institutions prepare in advance their applications. We remind that, on 9 november, responses to a group of 21 Frequently Asked Questions were published.

It is recommended to carefully read the Call for applications of the FCT-Tenure 1st Edition call, as well as the remaining documents that will regulate the Call, and which will be available on 18 december (Evaluation Guide and Application Guide).
