In order to respond to societal challenges in thematic areas, the FCT has signed a number of collaboration protocols, which support advanced training in partnership with institutions that promote or are dedicated to scientific research and technological development, with a view to funding research work in cycles leading to a doctorate degree.
The process of evaluating and selecting the applications associated with these protocols is the responsibility of the protocol entities and the contracting, management and financing of the Studentships is the responsibility of the FCT. The respective open notices can be consulted on the EURAXESS Portal, as well as on the institutional pages of the protocol entities.
These Calls are complementary to the national Call for doctoral Studentships whose Notice of the Call for 2023 is now available.
