Bilateral Cooperation

Bilateral cooperation in Science and Technology promotes the strengthening of scientific and technological cooperation through various mechanisms that promote scientific exchange, such as joint Calls to support research or mobility projects, support for the training of researchers, the publication of joint scientific articles, the presentation of joint communications or participation in international congresses.

The dynamics created through these activities promote the creation of networks of researchers and the strengthening of existing international partnerships, allowing for an international consolidation of teams that will enhance access to other sources of funding from international science and technology programs.

There are more than 70 countries with which Portugal has bilateral cooperation agreements, whether in the field of cultural cooperation (which includes references to science and technology) or scientific cooperation, the latter of which can be intergovernmental or institutional.

You can consult the existing Cultural Agreements on the Instituto Camões website.

The countries with which Portugal has Science and Technology Cooperation Agreements with a record of recent activity are presented below.
