Approval of Regulations for Research Studentships

O Research Fellow Statute (EBI) can be applied to any organization's scientific research fellows, provided that the respective Studentships regulations are approved by the Foundation for Science and Technology.

As such, entities funding research Studentships must obtain approval from the FCT for their respective regulations in order to be able to award these subsidies aimed at funding scientific, technological and training activities. Any public or private entity, including non-business entities in the Research & Innovation system and companies, can apply for approval of a Studentships regulation.

In cases where the application is made by a public or private entity whose main objective is not to carry out scientific research and technological development activities, and/or does not have an activity recognized as being of scientific or technological interest, they must specifically identify the project under which they are seeking approval.

As an alternative to drawing up a proposal for regulations and the respective models for the Studentship contract and final reports, the organization can request the adoption of the FCT's regulations for research Studentships .

Proposed regulations must comply with Article 6 of the EBI.

The request for approval of the Studentships Regulation or adoption of the FCT Studentships Regulation should be submitted to the following address: regulamentos.aprovacao@fct.pt
