Call Sabbatical Leave Studentships

Applications for Call Sabbatical Studentships Call , awarded by FCT, close on October 31.

As part of the restructuring of employment and training opportunities in scientific research that has been implemented over recent years, an amendment tothe Scholarship and Research Statute (EBI) was recently published, which determines the concentration of the various types of Studentships research purposes, as well as the reduction of situations in which it is permissible to hire PhDs as scholarship holders.

Due to this amendment, which involves structural changes to the FCT, I. P. Studentships Regulation, which are currently underpublic consultationto gather suggestions, the FCT will no longer have the Sabbatical Studentships Call open permanently. 

The FCT is therefore reformulating its model for supporting advanced training, taking into account the contribution that Studentships have made over the years to strengthening the qualifications and increasing the training of doctoral students linked to higher education and R&D institutions.
