Under the Agreement between FCT and DAAD, a call for funding international researcher mobility projects is now open. The projects will have a maximum duration of 24 months and the annual funding per project is 2500 €.
Applications must be drawn up jointly by the researchers responsible in both countries and submitted to the organisations implementing the Agreement, i.e., Portugal and Germany. Thus, the Portuguese team must submit their application to the FCT and the foreign team to the organisation in their country.
The Principal Investigator (PI) must ensure that, from the moment the application is submitted, he/she has an employment relationship or a post-doctoral scholarship with the proposing institution.
Expenses directly related to the researchers’ mobility are eligible, namely:
a. Transport (at the cheapest rate);
b. Accommodation;
c. Food.
d. Expenses related to travel documents and health expenses, considered compulsory for the mobility in question, at any given time, and which the PI deems eligible.
The call for proposals, the guide to filling it in and other supporting documentation can be found here (available only in Portuguese).
