One of the key aspects of the BIG ERA Chair project through the BIGLab is to strengthen the research capacity of Técnico – Lisbon, LARSyS and INESC-ID and to promote its long-term sustainability by providing support to foster the project management, networking and fundraising capacities of its researchers.
Three main initiatives are being developed:
Secondments of doctoral students and junior researchers
Promotion of the bidirectional exchange of junior researchers at LARSyS and INESC-ID and Ph.D. students at IST and the partner institutions. In every secondment, researchers will spend around 2 weeks visiting the partner institutions to work effectively in interdisciplinary research. The resulting dynamic research collaborations and novel ideas coming out of these interactions will allow driving forward the research program of LARSyS and INESC-ID into the ERA, by carrying out leading-edge research in European excellent research centers.
Requirements:
- Ph.D. student at IST OR junior researcher at LARSyS/ INESC-ID
- Develop research related with distributed ledger and blockchain technologies
- To visit a partner institution
- Duration of the visit at least 2 weeks

Exchange of Know-how with Potential EU Partners and foster the establishment of long-term partnerships
Promote outbound missions by the ERA Chair team, LARSyS and INESC-ID researchers and inbound missions from experts from leading international organizations and networks in the blockchain area to build relationships, exchange know-how, and establish long-lasting collaborations that could result in joint doctoral degree programs, long-term research initiatives under EIT and regular staff and student exchanges.
Acquiring Horizon 2020 funding development expertise
Training on the technical and practical skills needed for preparing successful applications to H2020/Horizon Europe and training on project management skills.
