FCCN is the Scientific Computing Unit of the FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology, which aims to contribute to the development of Science, Technology and Knowledge in Portugal. 

We provide high-speed Internet connectivity and IT services to the Portuguese higher education and research system. 

More than six hundred thousand students, researchers and staff can rely on our national education network every day. 

Cost efficiency is in the DNA of FCCN's operation so we are committed to providing common, replicable and shareable solutions to meet the needs of our user community. 

We provide a set of shared digital services that aim to support the development of education and science in Portugal, contributing to the excellence of national education and research.

Connection to Europe and the rest of the world is ensured through the European GÉANT network, which interconnects and provides advanced digital services to European national education and research networks, of which RCTS is a Portuguese member.

These networks are internationally referred to as NRENs: National Research and Education Networks.

Connection to the GÉANT network provides a privileged collaboration channel for Portuguese researchers, teachers and students to access infrastructures, data and services worldwide.
