New Regulations for FCT Research Studentships

The FCT has approved its new Regulations for Research Studentships , which can be consulted here.

In accordance with the recent Decree-Law no. 123/2019, of August 28, which updated several provisions of the Research Fellow Statute (EBI), it became necessary, under the terms of article 4 of the EBI, to update the FCT Research Studentships Regulation, which regulates the selection, hiring and legal regime applicable to all research fellows, funded directly or indirectly by the FCT.

The previous regulation had not been updated for more than four years, and the changes now introduced are intended to make the procedure more flexible and simplify its administrative process.
