CYTED 2025 Program launches Call support for Thematic Networks

Applications for theCYTED2025 Program are open until May 2, 2025. The call announces funding for thematic networks involving research teams from at least six member countries of the program, and projects must focus on one of the thematic lines established by CYTED – Ibero-American Program of Science and Technology for Development.

The open thematic lines are: 1 – Agri-food, 2 – Health, 3 – Promotion of industrial development, 4 – Sustainable development, global change, and ecosystems, 5 – Information and communication technologies, 6 – Science and society, and 7 – Energy.

The selected projects will receive funding for a maximum period of 48 months and will have access to a wide range of resources and services offered by CYTED to support the implementation of the projects and the dissemination of the results obtained.

This program, which has been running since 1984, aims to promote scientific and technological cooperation between Ibero-American countries and has funded more than 5,000 projects and 26,000 researchers over the years.

The FCT represents Portugal inthe CYTED Program, where Portuguese researchers are currently involved in 28 thematic networks, coordinating three of them. This call for proposals is an opportunity for Portuguese researchers to increase their participation in networks with institutions and researchers in Ibero-America and to benefit from funding for collaboration on high-impact R&D projects in the priority areas of the CYTED program.
