FCT launches website on scientific employment

The FCT has launched the website maisciencia.fct.pt, which will bring together the information available on the funding awarded by the Foundation under the Stimulus to Scientific Employment program.

The website, which is constantly being updated, already contains information on the 500 researchers selected under the Call Stimulus to Scientific Employment - Individual (CEEC Individual) and the 1,600 projects selected under the Call R&D Projects in all scientific fields 2017, under which scientific employment contracts for doctoral graduates will be funded. As the FCT receives details of the 400 researchers hired following the Call Stimulus to Scientific Employment - Institutional and the almost 2,000 researchers hired under the transitional rule, this information will also be made available.

The site allows you to find out about projects and researchers from institutions across the country and explore how they contribute to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. It is also possible to search for specific themes and find out about the contributions of different scientific areas. In the future, the articulation of the different researchers and projects around the Thematic Agendas for Research and Innovation will also be highlighted.

Linking this site to the CIÊNCIAVITAE and CIÊNCIA ID platforms will give you access to even more complete information about a particular researcher.

The website was presented at the first More Science Better Society session, held in Lisbon on October 31. This was the first in a series of sessions in which the scientific activity being carried out by new researchers under the CEEC Individual is presented, as well as the scientific employment plans selected in the Call Stimulus to Scientific Employment - Institutional, under which the first Calls are now being opened. The next presentation session will take place on November 13 at the Almeida Garrett Library in Porto.
