The programme will foster the development of the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, with a focus on supporting fundamental research, promoting knowledge transfer and strengthening intersectoral collaboration. It also adds to the ERC-Portugal programme objectives and funding associated with attracting talent, including attracting more international investment in science, technology and innovation, and strengthening national R&D capacity within the scope of European research and innovation programmes. This funding aims to provide an incentive for SNCT institutions or HEIs to recruit researchers whose projects are recommended for funding by the European Research Council, contributing to modernising and deepening knowledge production and transfer in all its various cycles.
