With the aim of strengthening its mission and international visibility, the Portuguese Association of Political Economy (EcPol) provides annual financial support to encourage scientific research in Political Economy and its international dissemination by early-career researchers.

This initiative offers an opportunity to present research, foster collaboration, and build networks within the scientific field of Political Economy.

To this end, applications for this funding scheme are accepted on a rolling basis, meaning that proposals may be submitted at any time. Applications are evaluated every four months by a jury, which reviews proposals received by the last day of the month preceding the decision, according to the following annual schedule:

• January: By 20 January, applications received between 1 September and 31 December of the preceding calendar year will be evaluated.

• May: By 20 May, applications received between 1 January and 30 April of the current calendar year will be evaluated.

• September: Applications received between 1 May and 31 August of the current calendar year will be evaluated.

Applicants must be members of EcPol or become members at the time of submitting their proposal.
