Figure 2.
Relation between UTL faculties academic staff qualifications and the exercise of research activities (quantified by Ph.D. candidates holding an FCT fellowship).
Source: adapted from UTL, 2005.
Note 1: The indicator used to quantify the exercise of research activities was university Ph.D. candidates benefiting from Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT) fellowships. This measure was used because most Ph.D. candidates benefit from this fellowship, which is granted under a highly competitive process (and thus can be also perceived as a quality indicator), and because the statistics supplied by FCT are official and reliable.
