Given the very low success rate of FCT projects, CICECO’s directing board has decided to support some of the best projects not funded on the last FCT call with a €20 000 grant.

CICECO’s directing board is interested in supporting young CICECO researchers with a CEEC or a non-permanent contract.

This year’s selected projects were:

Human derived bioactive membranes for the treatment of osteoporosis related fractures

PI Ana Sofia Matias da Silva

Alternative molten SALts for VAnishing Technological drawbacks in multi-IONic gas separation membranes

PI Maksim Starykevich
