PT-CERN PhD grants 2021/2022 – Open Call

FCT and LIP agreed to promote a programme of PhD grants in high energy physics and related scientific and technological domains relevant for the Portuguese participation at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, CERN and/or the corresponding transfer of knowledge to society.

The 4th Open Call for PT-CERN PhD Grants is now open.

Two domains will be considered:
1) Particle and Astroparticle Physics and associated scientific domains;
2) Technologies associated to the Portuguese participation at CERN and their transfer to society.

The maximum number of grants to be awarded in the present call will be 9 (nine), 6 (six) with priority in the first domain and 3 (three) with priority in the second domain.

This program is integrated in the scope of the IDPASC Doctoral Programme in Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology.
