Purpose and Overview
The 2019 Call for PhD Scholarships aims to support researchers, in all areas of knowledge, who wish to develop research work leading to a PhD degree.
Scholarships support graduates who comply with the requirements to apply for PhD studies and wish to carry out research towards this degree.
Research work may be carried out in any knowledge intensive environment, namely in collaboration with companies. Host institutions may be: R&D Units, State Labs, Associated Labs, Collaborative Labs or Technological Interface Centres (CIT).
The work programme may be entirely or partially carried out in a national institution (national or mixed scholarships, respectively), or in a foreign institution (overseas scholarships). For mixed scholarships, the period of the work programme that takes place in a foreign institution cannot exceed a total of two years.
As a rule, scholarships are annual, and can be renewed for the number of moths for which they have been requested. No scholarships are granted for periods of less than three consecutive months or more than 48 months.
