FCT participates in Qualifica 2018

 The FCT, in close collaboration with the scientific community, is present at yet another edition of Qualifica – Education and training, employment and youth fair , which will take place from 1 to 4 March at Exponor, in Matosinhos.

This year, the fair is dedicated to the theme “Love the planet”. As in previous years, FCT participates in the stand led by POCH (Human Capital Operational Program), which co-finances several Studentships assigned by the Foundation.

Participation in this initiative allows us to showcase the science and technology produced in the country and raise awareness among visitors about the importance of advanced training in these areas. The Foundation therefore invited the Research Units to participate with their doctoral students, so that, in the first person, they can present their projects and work and transmit their vision on science and the role of scientists and researchers in society.

FCT PhD Scholarship holders from the following institutions will be present at Qualifica 2018:

• Lab2PT – Laboratory of Landscapes, Heritage and Territory, University of Minho
• Dom Luiz Institute , University of Lisbon
• CEiiA – Center for Engineering and Product Development
• ITQB – António Xavier Institute of Chemical and Biological Technology, of the New University of Lisbon

The FCT would like to thank the entire scientific community for their collaboration and availability towards this initiative.
