LASIGE is pleased to announce that six of our students have been awarded scholarships in the 2024 FCT Call for PhD Studentships in All Scientific Domains. This year’s call will fund 1500 scholarships, with 450 designated for non-academic settings. With an approval rate of 40% this year, these scholarships are a significant achievement. Among the selected students, five will be pursuing research within academia, while one will focus on industry-related research.

Congratulations to Hugo Figueiras, Laura Balbi, Lisana Daniel, Manuel Piçarra, Pedro Trindade, and Samaneh Shafee for their successful applications.

These FCT scholarships aim to support researchers across all scientific areas as they work toward a PhD. With an approval rate of 40% this year, each of our students will be enrolled in the PhD Programme in Informatics at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, under the supervision of a LASIGE senior member.

Congratulations to all on this accomplishment.
