SCIENCEVITAE

From now on, it is easier to build a resume. CIÊNCIA VITAE – the new Portuguese Scientific Curriculum – and CIÊNCIA ID – the National Science Identifier – were presented today at the Thalia Theater, in a session with more than 200 Science and Technology researchers and managers and representatives of institutions such as A3ES , ANI , CRUP , CCISP , DGEEC , DGES, PIC and COMPETE2020 . The presentation was given by the Secretary of State for Science, Technology and Higher Education, Maria Fernanda Rollo, and the President of FCT, Paulo Ferrão.

CIÊNCIA VITAE is a unique, personalized, simple, harmonized and structured curriculum, hosted at http://cienciavitae.pt . It allows you to gather on a single platform all the information related to the user, whether student, researcher or institution, and which is currently spread across multiple platforms, such as FCT-SIG CV, DeGóis, RENATES, REBIDES, ORCID and RCAAP.

CIÊNCIA VITAE and CIÊNCIA ID are part of the “ More Science , Less Bureaucracy ” program, a rationalization, debureaucratization and administrative simplification program developed by the science, technology and higher education area in line with the European open science strategy.

The creation of this curriculum requires a unique identifier for each researcher: the CIÊNCIA ID, an access key, a form of authentication, which allows the aggregation and reuse of information. In this way, CIÊNCIA VITAE and CIÊNCIA ID can be adopted by all official entities associated with the science, technology and higher education system, respecting the specificities of scientific areas.

At FCT, the new curriculum will be implemented in phases: initially, its use will be optional, progressively replacing the FCT SIG and becoming mandatory for all students. Calls FCT from summer 2019. Today's session also marked the commitment to use Ciência Vitae throughout the ecosystem, through the signing of collaboration protocols between FCT and A3ES, ANI, DGEEC and DGES and COMPETE2020. 

In order to facilitate the adoption of these new services, in the coming months, FCT will promote and support training sessions, in person and remotely, for the entire community, including researchers and S&T managers.

CIÊNCIA VITAE is developed by FCT based on the DeGóis platform, together with the PTCRIS technical and regulatory framework, and can be used by all national institutions in the area of science and higher education that choose to join.
