Seed Funding

The Seed Funding programme was created by ILIND with the aim of supporting and rewarding activities and projects that reinforce interdisciplinarity and cross-fertilisation between different areas of knowledge.

The aim of this call for proposals is to stimulate the development of research activities and excellence among researchers from the Research and Development Units of Ensino Lusófona, funded by the FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology).

The competition is intended to fund innovative projects, preferably with a strong interdisciplinary component in any area of knowledge that could result in larger-scale projects to be submitted for funding from other organisations.
