Proposals may be promoted by companies, R&D institutions and non-business entities in the research and innovation system, municipal bodies and institutes of higher education.
As a result of this process, the thematic areas to be supported will be identified, which are aligned with the smart strategic priorities defined in the National Research and Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisation (ENEI), and include the following:
- Energy;
- Agro-food;
- Forestry;
- Economy of the Sea;
- Water and Environment.
