Ibero-American Science and Technology for Development Program (CYTED)

The Ibero-American Science and Technology for Development Program (CYTED) is now open for applications for the 2022 Call for Proposals, which closes on May 21, 2022.

This year's Call covers 7 thematic areas, namely: health, agri-food, industrial development, sustainable development, ICT, science and society, and energy.

The Thematic Networks that can be part of the program are research and development (R+D) teams from public or private entities and companies in the CYTED Program member countries, whose scientific and/or technological activities are related within a scope of common interest and fall within one of the Program's areas. The main objective is to exchange knowledge between R&D teams and promote cooperation as a working method. A minimum of 6 teams from 6 different Ibero-American countries, members of the CYTED Program, with demonstrated capacity and activity in R&D&I actions.

The Ibero-American Science and Technology for Development Program (CYTED) was created in 1984 through an inter-institutional agreement signed by 21 Ibero-American countries. Since 1995, the CYTED Program has been formally included among the Cooperation Programs of the Ibero-American Summits of Heads of State and Government.

Participation in this Cooperation Program is monitored in Portugal by the FCT-Foundation for Science and Technology, allowing the establishment of scientific and technical cooperation programs with teams from a large number of Latin American countries.
