FCT opens Call for the Collaborative Laboratory title - CoLAB

The Foundation for Science and Technology has opened the Call for recognition and the award of the title of Collaborative Laboratory.

Collaborative Laboratories should be set up as private non-profit associations or companies. Their main objective is to create, directly and indirectly, qualified employment and scientific employment in Portugal, through the implementation of research and innovation agendas aimed at creating economic and social value.

CoLABs must respond to the challenge of densifying the national territory in terms of knowledge-based activities, by increasingly consolidating forms of collaboration between science, technology and higher education institutions and the economic and social fabric, namely companies, the hospital and health system, cultural institutions and social organizations.

The Call will be open permanently. Obtaining the title will subsequently allow you to apply for specific funding.

More information about the Call is available on the Call page, in the Call for Proposals, in the Application Submission Guide, in the Evaluation Guide and in the Regulations for Awarding the Collaborative Laboratory Title (CoLAB).
