FCT has opened the Calls for the attribution of 20 Studentships for technological internships in four international scientific organizations of which Portugal is a member, namely the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). Calls is open until November 15 and Portuguese graduates or early career higher education graduates may apply. 

The FCT Technological Internships program aims to provide candidates with the opportunity to undertake advanced training in leading international scientific organizations, seeking that candidates develop a plan of complementary training (on-the-job training) in strategic technological areas for increasing the competitiveness of Portuguese companies.

Young people with a bachelor's or master's degree obtained less than six years ago and a doctoral degree obtained less than three years ago may apply. The Studentships to Call are for training in the most diverse scientific areas, with internship opportunities ranging from engineering, natural sciences and computer science to management, technology transfer and innovation, communication and law. The number of positions at each institution is as follows: CERN - 8, ESA - 8, ESO - 2 and EMBL - 2.

The technological internships have a maximum duration of two years and are carried out under Agreements signed by FCT with CERN, ESA, ESO and EMBL.
