On the occasion of National Scientists' Day, which falls on May 16, the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) is launching "FCT in Figures" on its website, providing the scientific and academic community, as well as the general public, with statistical data on its activities. Through "FCT in Figures", users can access data on the major areas of FCT funding programs over time, namely Doctoral Studentships , Scientific Employment, R&D Institutions and Projects, as well as their annual financial execution.
Direct access to FCT databases is presented in the form of dynamic reports, produced by a computer program that allows the user to independently select the fields and variables they wish to obtain or compare.
FCT provides this information on its activity with the aim of continuing to follow the principles of transparency in its management, thus promoting greater trust and the informed involvement and participation of the scientific community in the design of science policies.
The initiative to present "FCT in Figures" illustrates another step in the implementation of the open data policy of the FCT and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education (MCTES), which reinforces the commitment to the principles of transparency, integrity and participation of the scientific community.
