CEPRA

The Ecuadorian CEPRA Project Competition, which aims to finance Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) projects in different areas of knowledge and that contribute to the country's scientific, technological and productive community, was opened on July 27, 2020. In this call, researchers nationwide from our member institutions submitted their proposals for funding.

After the conclusion of the call for proposals, we are pleased to mention that we received approximately 117 proposals, of which 19 were selected for award, representing a 72% increase compared to the previous call for proposals; marking a milestone in the program and in CEDIA.

The Corporation is pleased to note that in the current context it has been the only national institution that has contributed to and promoted development, science and technology in Ecuador through its various funding programs for researchers.
