Applications for Summer with Science 2021 are now open

FCT has opened applications for special support for "Summer with Science 2021". Applications are open until 5pm (Lisbon time) on July 23, 2021.

"Summer with Science" is special support granted by the FCT for scientific and technological research activities in R&D units with a view to enhancing scientific and technological capacity and its relationship with higher education and society. The aim of this support is to stimulate the initiation of scientific activity, thus contributing to the promotion of scientific and technological culture and the diffusion and dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge among higher education students.

The aim of this program is to support "Summer with Science" projects for scientific and technological research activities in R&D units, by funding research initiation Studentships (article 5 of the FCT Studentships Regulation) for face-to-face scientific research activities. This support is aimed at R&D units that obtained a rating of Good, Very Good or Excellent, awarded by the FCT in the 2017-2018 R&D Unit evaluation process.

This is the second edition of the Verão com Ciência (Summer with Science) initiative, which in 2020 funded 87 training actions from 22 institutions and 1,175 research and research initiation Studentships as part of the special support promoted in collaboration with the Directorate-General for Higher Education (DGES).
