CIÊNCIAVITAE

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

CIÊNCIAVITAEis a unique, personalized, simple, harmonized and structured curriculum, hosted at http://cienciavitae.pt. It brings together in a single platform all the information relating to the user, whether student, researcher or institution, which is currently scattered across multiple platforms, such as FCT-SIG CV, DeGóis, RENATES, REBIDES, ORCID and RCAAP.

CIÊNCIAVITAEand CIÊNCIA ID are part of the "MoreScience, Less Bureaucracy" program, a rationalization, debureaucratization and administrative simplification program developed by the area of science, technology and higher education 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 information to be aggregated and reused. 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 the 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 FCT Calls from summer 2019. Today's session also marked the commitment to using 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, both face-to-face and distance, for the entire community, including researchers and S&T managers.

CIÊNCIAVITAEis developed by the FCT on the basis of the DeGóis platform, in conjunction with the PTCRIS technical and regulatory framework, and can be used by all national science and higher education institutions that choose to join.
