In Portugal, the National Science Organization is often based on the work created by research packets – not only the earliest professional researchers who develop activities in research projects. These pockets are created in their work alone, or in research groups, higher education institutions, research centers and other institutions, often supported by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCD) funding.

Currently, there are a variety of research scholarships, each plays a certain role in the creation and coordination of scientific life. Research scholarships are the most common, they are designed for undergraduate, postgraduate or doctoral students, and are stated under the research programs (research units, or not), pre -defined term doses (usually 6 months or 1 year, renewable) and a specific objective. Doctoral graduate (or doctoral refreshment) scholarships are given directly to doctoral students, aimed at supporting the advanced exercise who presented themselves for a competition with the investigation plan for conducting their doctorate. There are already a postctoral scholarship designed for investigators, which are already aimed at doctoral degrees.
In the years of the socialist governance – between 2015 and 2024 – the actions that tried to change the “triqa” period of the exclusion cycle, which tried to respond to the structure associated with this model, were accepted.
B.S. The Budget of the Foundation for Science and Technology has increased (FCT), and allows contracts for the scholarship, projects and researchers. Stimulating scientific employment helps to hire thousands of doctoral degrees and fight the dangerousness in this field. In addition, it promoted regular competitions for doctoral and postctoral scholarships, ensuring high stability and predisposition. B.S. Strengthening the rights of the scholarship, increasing the value of the pockets, expanding social security and the implementation of parents to support parents. Structurally, socialist governments have invested in order to integrate the network of research centers and support the internationalization of Portuguese science in European projects. The Order No. 57/2016 was introduced (which approved a doctoral employment regime designed to incite scientific and technical employment in all fields of knowledge), which allowed a portion of the scholarship to be converted to time employment contracts, ensuring some labor rights in the intelligence that jumped out of a bond for many years without obtaining a bond.
However, the rest are through bags, without labor bond, and subject to instability – such as delays in the initial payments and the duty of exclusive commitment. Despite the advances, the system is weak with the asymmetry of the institutions, the future of research scholarships, the future of research scholarships, their recognition to repair their role and skills for the future of science in Portugal and strengthen the role of the country.
The parties tend to accept the flag of investment in scientific research years in the years of the election campaign, and this theme is expressed as a priority in election plans. However, a reading of the 2025 legislative programs, the backbone of science in Portugal -reveals that only the Socialist Party (BS) proposes that only the Socialist Party (BS) presents stable, realistic and implemented programs in the short/medium period.
On the right, the liberal initiative and the arrival of the AD fails in research pockets because they do not respond to the difficulties they face, but completely ignore them in their plans. Without a word about the need to guarantee the dangerousness of the scholarship or the need to guarantee the need for decent working conditions, AD, the general investment goals in scientific and innovations. Only. It talks about “bringing 3% of GDP to 3%” and “attracting researchers”, but already denying researchers here.
The IL, with a market pro -approach, does not even mention the investigation bags in its project. His vision is limited to “scientific autonomy” and “merit progress” without recognizing the dangerousness of the structure that undermines any radical principles of science. They see the creation of scientific knowledge of the market: the most highly providing must have priority and the rest should be placed in the background.
It proposes to “increased investment in scientific employment”, above all, focusing on artificial intelligence, but there is no stability, without contracts and work for those who work without contracts and work. The total ignorance of what science is done in Portugal, or the desire to create the production and spread of scientific knowledge, not for attacks on universities and knowledge, a farm mark
On the opposite side of the political spectrum, nominations such as the CDU, the left constituency and the free are ambitious, but the imaginative plans are unlikely in a legislature. Protecting the immediate abolition of the Large Error Act and the automatic change of all workplace contracts is undoubtedly reasonable, but unreliable, but unreliable. We said that it reveals how they work and what a variety of research scholarship serves. The plans of these parties ignore the differences between the scholarships (research, doctoral, postctoral, etc.), and treat the diversity of the scientific environmental system as the same volume. It is noteworthy that the structure of the decades in four years has not been resolved without questioning the financial and functional ability of many intelligence units.
If we want to change, it is necessary to present practical and potential measures so that they can be accepted without opposition by companies.
For example, it proposes free to limit the scholarship for two years and to convert any investigation into an employment contract. The purpose is excellent, but all companies, or projects, must be with the issue that is not ready to absorb the budget and administrative burden that indicates it – the number of opportunities available to young researchers who can compromise in the documentary scholarship system.
In turn, BS has pledged to ensure that it is impossible: BS has pledged to balance pockets for social security purposes; The bureaucracy of the relationship of research centers with FCT; Strengthening the budget of I&D matches to achieve international standards; And start support plans for special management and research support businesses. These programs not only directly improve the conditions of the pockets, but also strengthen the entire scientific environmental system and create foundations for future structural reforms. And, most importantly, they are already plans that can make a difference tomorrow.
In the election period, it is important to recognize the doctorate scholarship, especially if an order is taken up to the end, and the entire structure of scientific research, especially, even if it is taken up to the end. However, in the short/medium period, it is possible to think through realistic framing.
For example, the contract between the scholarship and the FCT refers to the use of functions under the exclusive commitment, however, the start date of the contract to the date of the scholarship to the date (and the rest, the rest) will take place for several months. During these months, the scholarship is not only getting any amount but also another payment process. Therefore, this is a situation where the scholarship is in an unstable environment, their dangerous condition and their lack of financial security.
When applying for scholarships, doctoral students already provide all the necessary documents, so we understand that this time should be shortened and shortened, which makes a difference at the entrance of the doctorate students’ Poly Act. In fact. Therefore, this article is a operating project, as it wants to accelerate the scholarship process, thus alleviating the obstacles caused by the delay of these allowances.
It is important to recognize that scientific and scientific research should be the pillars of the progress of contemporary communities. We cannot allow youth investigators – so we must contribute to the social and economic development of our country (except research centers and universities) – there is the right to search for the future or abandon their educational path. Keeping and assessing this skill is essential for the development of Portugal and must be a collective responsibility. In these elections, B.S. The short -term and positive long -term effects are implemented, which can be practiced with plans such as what is said here to avoid delays on FCD payments. It is time to strengthen science and to construct the future as a motor of scientific knowledge progress.
