List of FCT Studentships covered by the Transitional Rule of the Scientific Employment Decree-Law released

The list of Studentships contracted with doctoral fellows funded directly by the FCT for more than three consecutive years as of September 1, 2016 is now available. As established in no. 4 of article 23 of Decree-Law 57/2016, in cases where contracts are signed between these scholarship holders and their respective host institutions, the FCT will support this hiring. 

The host institutions are responsible for opening the Calls for the positions held by the current grant holders and the respective employment contracts are established directly between the selected researchers and these institutions. When these researchers are the holders of the Studentship that gave rise to the opening of the Call, FCT will fund the contract for a period of up to three years, by signing a program contract with the institution. In cases where the grant holders have more than one host institution, any of the institutions may open the Call, and the one in which the grant holder is placed will be supported.

Supporting documentation
Supporting documentation for this contract is available on the FCT website, including a guidance document, a draft Notice of the Call and a program contract. A FAQ on the subject is also available. For further clarification on the list provided, especially in cases of parental leave or illness, please send an e-mail to infoDL57-2016@fct.pt.

The list does not coverthe entire transitional rule
The list provided only includes the references of the Studentships for which a program contract will be signed between the FCT and the host institution to finance the contract. The list does not exhaust the doctoral candidates covered by the transitional rule for whom the host institutions must open Calls.
