REQUIMTE-BIOCOR

REQUIMTE, is the largest network in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (formed by Centro de Química Fina e Biotecnologia-UNL and Centro de Química-UP) established in Portugal and is recognized as the Laboratório Associado para a Química Verde by the Portuguese Ministério da Ciência e do Ensino Superior since November 2001.

BIOCOR (Contract n. PITN-GA-2009-238579) is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) on Biocorrosion, funded by the EU 7th Framework "People" Program. ITN projects offer early-stage researchers (ESRs) the opportunity to improve their research skills, join established research teams and enhance their career prospects. The BIOCOR project will offer an overall effort of 488 person-months of which 81% will be dedicated to ESRs.

The project was officially launched on 1st September 2009, and will run for 4 years.
