LASIGE has had four projects selected for funding under the 2024 Call for Exploratory Research Projects (PeX), covering all scientific fields. This call was highly competitive, with a provisional success rate of 16%, based on the number of applications received.

The Principal Investigators for the selected projects are Isabel Neto, João Guerreiro, Soraia Meneses Alarcão, and Wellington Oliveira. Each project will receive a maximum funding amount of €60,000 for a duration of 18 months.

The goal of the exploratory research projects call is to provide funding for original projects led by early-career researchers, as well as for innovative ideas or concepts that demonstrate significant novelty and disruptive potential, particularly in comparison to previous work by more experienced researchers.
