R&D institutions

Organizations that conduct research are the backbone of national science and knowledge creation. They are the place where non-business research and innovation are developed, bringing together critical capacity and promoting a working environment that stimulates scientific creativity, attracts talent, fosters scientific careers, and provides advanced training for human resources.
The research carried out at these institutions covers all scientific fields, namely: life and health sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, engineering and technology sciences, exact sciences, and natural and environmental sciences.
The "Science Law"establishes the legal framework for institutions engaged in research and development (R&D) and defines the general principles for their evaluation and funding.
