Within the scope of the priorities established for the consolidation of the National Scientific and Technological System, high priority was given to the advanced training of human resources in science and technology, seeking to strengthen productive collaborations among higher education institutions, R & D institutions and companies. In this context, the FCT decided to propose the extension, by one edition, of FCT Doctoral Programs approved under the National Competitive Financing of PhD Programs FCT of 2012 and 2013 that, on September 1, 2018, were fully implemented or in the process of being fully implemented.
The Doctoral Programme in Multimedia in Education falls under the above-mentioned conditions with regard to the execution of the approved editions, and will benefit from a funding of 6 PhD fellowships for an additional edition of this program. The funding for these scholarships must begin, mandatorily, during the year 2019.
