Ciência 2008
On May 12, 2008, the Ciência 2008 initiative was launched highlighting several FCT programs. An example is the Atsutoshi Nishida Invited Chair launched on 7/10/2008.
7th Research Framework Programme
FCT provides information about European programs included in the 7th RFP such as the Marie Curie actions.
Post Doctoral Positions
With Ciência 2008 the programme of recruitment of 1000 post-doctoral researchers enters its second cycle of institution selection and researcher recruitment.
Fellowships and Grants
FCT funds an extensive list of different types of Fellowships and Grants. These include Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Fellowships awarded through the annual Call for Individual Fellowships and the new Integration into Research Grants.
R&D Units
FCT funds and evaluates R&D Units in diverse scientific areas and, in particular, Associate Laboratories.
R&D Projects
The latest call for projects in all scientific domains was open in 2006. Details about its evaluation are available.
Scientific hardware renewal
The National Program for Scientific Hardware Renewal was created to support the acquisition, update and expansion of scientific hardware and the buildup of National Networks of institutions sharing the usage of important, but relatively uncommon and expensive, hardware items.
Scientific Community Support Fund
FACC selectively supports scientific community initiatives aimed at the promotion of R&D or knowledge transmission in any scientific area lying outside the scope of current FCT programs.
Science Networks
FCT is a member or represents Portugal in several Scientific and Science Policy Networks dedicated to transnational cooperation.
The European Union transnational analog of FCT is ERC. See its 2007 Report.
International partnerships
One of FCT’s missions is the development of international partnerships between leading Portuguese science and university institutions and world class partners.
