Fortalecimiento de Capacidades Territoriales

Fortalecimiento de Capacidades Territoriales is a MinCiencias grant call aimed at climate resilience and food security projects in Colombian territories. The 2026 call, Convocatoria 52, is framed around territorial recovery work rather than lab-based research and sits inside the ministry’s territorial science and innovation agenda. The 2026 cycle carried a budget of COP 100,000,000,000. It is open to Colombian-registered companies, universities, research organizations, and nonprofits, while individuals are not eligible. The call was issued in Spanish and closed after its March 2026 deadline, so applicants are now waiting for the next cycle rather than preparing an open submission window. The strongest proposals are likely to tie science and technology directly to local recovery, extreme-weather response, and food-system resilience. Applicants that can show territorial relevance and an implementation path are better aligned than teams presenting generic research plans, especially when local institutions are already involved. Local government partners strengthen the territorial case.
