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.
The next evaluation of R&D Units will begin in January 2024. Their status, and funding, will be granted by the FCT after a Call and evaluation for a period that will increase to 5 years in the next evaluation.
