The application form and the guide to help fill out the form are now available. Applications must be submitted in English using the electronic form on the Calls Portal .

This Call has an allocation of 75 million euros and will support two types of projects:

• Scientific research and technological development (IC&DT) projects, lasting 36 months and with maximum funding per project of R$250 thousand, with an allocation of R$60 million;
• Exploratory research projects (PeX), lasting 18 months and with maximum funding per project of R$50,000, with an allocation of R$15 million.

The introduction of these two types of projects is one of the new features this year in Call of Projects in all Scientific Domains, a change that responds to suggestions from the scientific community. With annual frequency, the Call of Projects in all Scientific Domains is part of the set of large Calls FCT's structuring activities, whose schedule, another of the commitments assumed by FCT with the scientific community, is established until 2022 and published on the website.
