2017 @PT Call for Exploratory Proposals

A Call for Proposals for Exploratory Research is opened within the MIT Portugal Program framework.

This call is guided towards research projects with the potential to contribute towards the long-term objective of developing innovative products and services, demonstrating international competitiveness and innovative capacity in science and technology amongst public and private sectors and the entities of the National Scientific and Technology System (SCTN) under the following themes:

Integrative research based in the context of the Atlantic International Research Center (AIR Center);
Sustainable and data driven urban systems;
New industrial concepts and smart factories;
Bio & Medical Devices;
Sustainable Transportation Systems.

These projects will be also used to assess emergent scientific domains that could be considered in the design of a potential 3rd phase of the MIT Portugal Program. The projects developed should also contribute to the Atlantic International Research Center (AIR Center) scientific developments and objectives, as stated in the document “Towards a Science and Technology agenda for an integrative approach to the Atlantic: Climate Change and Energy Systems, Space and Ocean Sciences, through North-South cooperation”, available at FCT website.
