FLAD Competition - Luso-American Development Foundation
Support for institutional projects
 
Support for projects by Portuguese scientific or similar institutions that contribute to the knowledge and development of transatlantic relations, namely:

- Deepening knowledge of Portuguese communities in the USA;
- Initiatives that contribute to the dissemination of Portuguese language and culture in the US;
