The Ombudsman is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the launch of the 50 Years Ombudsman Award. The initiative aims to encourage scientific research, value the contribution of the academic community to knowledge production, and promote reflection on relevant issues within the scope of the institution's mission.
The award is intended for students from all fields of knowledge enrolled in Higher Education institutions in Portugal. Submitted works must be original, written in Portuguese, and of individual authorship. Applications are open until March 31, 2027.
The top three classified participants will have the opportunity to have their work published by the Ombudsman. The winner will receive a prize of €2000, in the form of a scholarship for training.
This initiative represents an opportunity for students to deepen topics of scientific interest and contribute to reflection on the challenges facing society and the Ombudsman's work.
The regulations and further information regarding applications are available on the official website of the Ombudsman. Applications should be sent to premio50anos@provedor-jus.pt.
