How it Works

At IJUP, various scientific works by young researchers from U.Porto are presented in the form of:

Oral Comunications

Posters

1. Registration

Although IJUP is aimed at 1st and 2nd cycle students, the entire U.Porto academic community, including the researchers and teachers involved in the work submitted, will be able to attend the meeting. Anyone interested in taking part should therefore register.

2. Abstract Submission

Regardless of the type of communication to be presented at the event, an abstract must first be submitted for evaluation. The abstract must include the option of an oral or poster presentation. The topic of the work must correspond to one of IJUP’s thematic areas.

3. Abstract Review

All abstracts will be reviewed by a Jury, made up of specialists in the field of the work submitted, and expressly appointed for this purpose by the Scientific Commission. As well as checking that the abstract complies with the submission rules, the Jury will assess its admissibility, taking into account its scientific value and originality.

4. Presentation of Works

Works proposed and accepted for presentation at IJUP may be presented in one of two ways: Oral Communications or Posters. For each type of communication, specific rules will apply, to be consulted for the current IJUP edition.

5. Distinction of Works

The works presented at IJUP will be evaluated by Professors and Researchers accordingly to the scientific area of the work. The selection process for the distinguished works will take into account the abstract submitted, the results, the potential for continuing the work and its impact in the respective area of knowledge. The evaluation will also focus on the presentation of the work, considering its organization, presentation and content.
