This competition aims to accustom doctoral students to writing projects for research funding and to exchanging information directly with specialists at international conferences.

For GC (Research Grant) grants, under the category of service type expenses, expenses for publication in Open Source journals or for the promotion of Open Source articles are also eligible!
