CENTRO CIÊNCIA LP
category 2 center, under the auspices of UNESCO
Centro Ciência LP, operating from the Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (IHMT)/ Universidade de Lisboa, is the outcome of an agreement between the Government of Portugal and UNESCO to create an “International Centre for Advanced Training of Scientists from Portuguese Speaking Countries” to strengthen scientific and academic cooperation within the Portuguese-speaking world.
Centro Ciência LP, in coordination with the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), annually promotes several calls for PhD scholarships to students from the Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP) and East Timor to be held in the institutions that integrate the School Consortia. Selected candidates are closely followed by Centro Ciência LP, which coordinates complementary activities for the developing of further skills.
Centro Ciência LP is committed to enhancing scientific knowledge, actively contributing to best practices in the dissemination of scientific production and knowledge sharing, and encouraging the strengthening of the international scientific networks.
To strengthen the scientific development within the Portuguese-speaking countries, in addition to encouraging advanced training and scientific dissemination, Centro Ciência LP organises a number of initiatives with the support of external partners.
