The Call for R&D Projects in All Scientific Domains - 2022, promoted by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT.IP.), recommended 38 projects of NOVA School of Science and Technology | FCT NOVA for funding.
These projects will promote research in areas as diverse as Physics, Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Industrial Engineering and Mechanics, Materials Science, Conservation and Restoration and Life Sciences.
The call, which was launched in March and that now discloses the results, selected 630 projects, representing an investment of 74.8 million euros. This initiative supported two types of projects: Projects of scientific research and technological development (IC&DT), with a lenght of up to 36 months and maximum funding per project of 250 thousand euros, with an allocation of 55 million euros; and Projects of exploratory research (PeX), with a duration of up to 18 months and maximum funding per project of 50 thousand euros, with an allocation of 20 million euros.
The applications were rated by 33 evaluation panels, in diverse scientific areas, with 557 evaluators affiliated to foreign institutions distributed by 35 nationalities and of which 53% are women. Each proposal was evaluated and classified by the scientific merit, both of the project and the research team, its innovative character, feasibility of the work programme and contribution to the accumulation of knowledge and skills.
Once again, the scientific community of FCT NOVA proves its quality and excellence, fulfilling one of the School's missions in the pursuit of knowledge.
