FCT funding

IDMEC receives FCT funding from several projects. This is acknowledged in the webpage of each such project.

IDMEC also receives funding from FCT through LAETA, under project UID/50022/2025. Among the goals of this project are the increase of research and innovation projects, the reinforcement of LAETA, the increase of highly qualified human resources, and the creation of scientific jobs. FCT funding granted to LAETA has resulted in increased scientific publications, the organisation of scientific events, international collaborations with other R&D entities, the participation in R&D projects, and the creation of job positions in science.

Funding is acknowledged in publications as follows: “The authors acknowledge Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) for its financial support via LAETA (project UID/50022/2025).”

FCT funding acknowledgement up to October, 2025 can be found in this page. Papers published in 2025 may still acknowledge FCT funding in this way.
