Rodzaj oferty: For employees

Until December 31, 2023, applications are open for doctoral scholarships under the cooperation agreement between ULisboa and the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT).

The University of Lisbon (ULisboa), in collaboration with FCT and with the support of the Unite! consortium, will award 9 doctoral scholarships.

Priority will be given to research in areas crucial to the Unite! network, although the organizers do not rule out the possibility of selecting projects not directly related to them.

Priority areas:

• Energy conversion and storage (photovoltaics, wind, batteries, and hydrogen)
• Artificial intelligence
• Industry 4.0

Projects awarded with the grant should promote institutional cooperation, meaning they should involve collaboration between the University of Lisbon and another partner institution within the Unite! consortium.

The grants will be financed by the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) under the FCT-UNITE protocol.

All application procedures, including submission, evaluation, announcement of results, pre-interviews, claims, and appeals, will be conducted exclusively online.
