Draft Regulation of FCT's Research Studentships

A public consultation on the FCT Research Grant Holder Regulation Project Studentships is underway for 30 working days, under article 7 of the Research Grant Holder Statute and article 4 of Decree-Law no. 123/2019, of August 28. As part of the public participation, and under the provisions of article 100 of the CPA, interested parties must submit their suggestions to the FCT at consultapublica.rbi@fct.pt.

The recent Decree-Law No. 123/2019, of August 28, updated several provisions of the Research Grant Holder Statute (EBI), making it necessary, under article 4 of the EBI, to update the FCT Research Grants Regulation ( Studentships ), which regulates the selection, hiring and legal regime applicable to all research grants holders, funded directly or indirectly by FCT, and which had not been updated for over 4 years. The changes introduced aim to make the procedure more flexible and simplify its administrative procedures.
