The FRCT is the regional entity with competencies in granting support for advanced research fellowships. In that sense, FRCT implements several calls to promote specialized human capital growth, especially in one of the most dynamic areas of the Azores Regional Smart Specialization Strategy, the Sea and Blue Growth. The Regional Government of Azores, through the FRCT, has invested in more than 40 research and innovation fellowships in this area, covering an amount of the 2.740.807,28 € co-financing of the European Social Fund (ESF). Currently, there are 10 projects on implementation.
