- NOVA, there is an obligation to inform the Rectorate’s central services (Foundation Support Services). If there is more than one stakeholder from all organic units (OUs), the Rectory will decide which application to proceed;
- NOVA.ID.FCT, the decision is taken by the Board of NOVA.ID.FCT / FCT NOVA.
Researchers hired under the Transitional Standard, DL 57/2006, and whose contractual charges are borne by the Foundation for Science and Technology may not affect hours / time for later reimbursement of projects of whatever nature and regardless of being of national, European or international nature. Under no circumstances can the same costs be financed twice; if they do so, they are incurring double funding, which confers an illegality.
