The award recognized the paper “Beyond the Downward Bias: An Exploratory Study for Scope 3 Emissions in Supply Chain”, authored by Jorge Soares, Tiago Pinho, Nelson Carriço, and Izunildo Cabral. The study focuses on Scope 3 emissions, which occur throughout supply chains, exploring the challenges in quantifying them and aiming to contribute to a more rigorous assessment of the environmental impact of activities across the value chain.
This distinction validates the quality of research produced within the PhD Program in Industrial Engineering and the scientific rigor promoted by NOVA FCT in training its doctoral candidates. The award also highlights the work of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and UNIDEMI in strategic areas such as sustainability, supply chain management, and the transition to more sustainable industrial models.
