About IJUP
The Young Researchers Meeting of the U.Porto – IJUP, is an annual event, which takes place at the beginning of the second semester, where U.Porto students have the opportunity to present and discuss the results of studies in which they have participated within the scope of initiation research projects.
The research initiation programme aims to encourage the involvement of U.Porto students in R&D activities as early as possible during their academic careers.
Goals of IJUP
Facilitate student contact with knowledge creation methodologies and their understanding of the specific dynamics of this process, enriching student training and promoting new teaching/learning models
Encourage potential future researchers to engage with U.Porto’s R&D groups, fostering the development of a passion for scientific research
Encourage public discussion of the results of the work carried out, supporting the participation of U.Porto students in interdisciplinary scientific meetings, at U.Porto and at partner universities
Encourage U.Porto’s R&D groups to open up by incorporating students from complementary fields, developing multidisciplinary projects, and fostering connections that will support future collaborations between the R&D groups and programme participants or their employers.
Giving more internal and external visibility to the skills of the various R&D groups at U.Porto
