R&D Units
R&D Units are the core of the Portuguese scientific and technological system. They are organized structures of a public or private nature that include human resources, equipment and technical infrastructure active in R&D, advanced training and scientific dissemination, working in all scientific fields and spread throughout the country.
Their status, and funding, is granted by FCT after an Call and evaluation for a period of 4 years. The next evaluation of the R&D Units will begin in 2023 (see calendar).
