FCT announces the final results of the Call Exploratory Projects in all scientific fields 2023, which correspond to an investment of around 20 million euros, supported by national funds through the FCT budget.
403 exploratory research projects (PEX) will be supported, corresponding to a Call funding rate of 22.5%. The projects will have a duration of 18 months and maximum funding of 50,000 euros, with an initial advance of 75% of the amount awarded.
When the final decision is notified, the contractualization process begins. The researchers responsible and the beneficiary entities have 30 working days to contract the projects, which must begin implementation within 90 days of notification of the final decision.
The projects funded through this Call will be the first to be carried out at the FCT under the simplified cost modality – lump sum, fulfilling the objective of administrative simplification.
