CIUHCT receives a new Scientific Employment contract

In the 400 contracts available under the 4th Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus, CIUHCT has secured one. Although this result does not satisfy us, given the size of our research area in the context of Arts and Humanities and the profile of the awarded contracts, CIUHCT is positioned, once again, as a research unit of reference.

Using statistics shared by FCT MCTES, the percentage of contracts awarded was 10,7% of total applications.

Naturally, CIUHCT's coordinators wish to congratulate researcher Ignacio García-Pereda (Junior Researcher contract), until recently, a researcher who worked on the AGUA project, with two articles published in Notes and Records: the Royal Society Journal of the History of Science.

However, we would also like to give a word of encouragement to the other researchers who, although they have presented valuable projects, have not been selected to continue their work.

On the part of the CIUHCT Coordination, we will continue to press for a more inclusive and definitive solution that recognizes the merit of younger researchers.
