Description
The Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), in partnership with the Portuguese Association of Researchers and Students in the United Kingdom (PARSUK), announces the opening of the Studentships Bilateral Research Fund (BRF) 2025 Call . This Call, which runs until April 22, 2025, represents an opportunity for new scientific collaborations between Portugal and the United Kingdom.
BRF Studentships are aimed at early career researchers based in research centers or institutions in Portugal or the UK. The lead applicant must be affiliated with a research institution in Portugal or the UK, and may have several co-investigators. At least one co-investigator must be based in the partner country (for example, if the principal applicant is based in a Portuguese research institution, the co-investigator must be based in a British research institution).
In this edition, five research Studentships of up to €3,000 will be awarded, with the Call having an annual allocation of €15,000. The main objective is to cover small-scale research costs, such as laboratory consumables, software licenses or assistance with data collection and analysis, or even travel and accommodation costs associated with work visits.
Applications can be submitted via the online form until April 22, 2025.
This collaboration between FCT and PARSUK is part of the protocol between the two institutions, signed in 2019 and renewed in December 2023.
