The Scientific Community Support Fund Program continues to support the operation of non-profit scientific societies or scientific institutions of a similar nature that promote the dissemination of science and technology and are mainly composed of individuals.
The evaluation and selection of applications by FCT takes into account the analysis of their eligibility, the objectives of the society or association, the quality and relevance of the activities carried out and to be carried out, their performance in the field of S&T dissemination, as well as the financial information presented.
The application period runs from March 1 to March 31 each year. The notice and electronic application form will be available by the opening date of the Call.
The support consists of funding for a maximum period of one year, corresponding to the period covered by the activity plan submitted.
In 2024, there are no plans to open the Call Support for the Operation of Scientific Societies.
Note: The remaining support measures provided for in the FACC Program Regulations have not been active since 2020.
