Summer with Science

Since 2020, the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) has granted special support for scientific and technological research activities in R&D units with a view to enhancing scientific and technological capacity and its relationship with higher education and society. This support aims to stimulate the initiation of scientific activity, thus contributing to the promotion of scientific and technological culture and the dissemination and diffusion of scientific and technical knowledge among higher education students.

The aim is to support "Summer with Science" initiatives for scientific and technological research activities in R&D units by funding research initiation Studentships for face-to-face scientific research activities.

The beneficiaries of this support will be R&D units with a rating of Good, Very Good or Excellent awarded by FCT in the 2017-2018 R&D Unit evaluation process. The submission of proposals is limited to one application per R&D unit.
