Introduction
Actions in 2008
The Ciência 2008 initiative
maintains the XVII Goverment commitment in
Compromisso com a Ciência of recruiting 1000
post-doctoral researchers into the National Science and
Technology System.
A second cycle of unit selection and recruitment calls is
described in a new announcement
detailing actions to be completed up to 2009. A new set of
Regulations is now in force and
the procedures to be followed
have been adapted.
