Science Impact on Economy and Society Award in Portugal
Overview and Objectives
The Impact of Science on Economy and Society in Portugal Award: Investment, scientific employment and valorization of knowledge aims to encourage the development of scientific articles that contribute to the identification of problems and the implementation of public policy solutions in Portugal.
Recipients and Eligibility
Articles must be original, of high scientific quality, and allow drawing conclusions relevant to the various stages of public policy in Portugal (formulation, implementation and/or evaluation). The use of empirical data is a preferential factor. Articles may be written in Portuguese or in English.
How to apply
Call has two phases, which are mandatory and whose deadlines will appear in the call:
- 1st phase - sending the proposal or preliminary version of the article;
- 2nd phase - article submission
In the first phase, proposals or draft papers should be sent to estudos@gee.gov.pt. The authors whose works fulfill the conditions required in the call will be informed, within 10 working days, of the selection for the second phase.
In the second phase, the authors should send the articles, until the date indicated in the announcement of the call, to estudos@gee.gov.pt. Each article should be sent as an attachment to the submission message, in Word format (.doc or .docx), without identifying the authors, and should follow the editing specifications indicated in the attachment. The body of the message should include the name, complete postal address and e-mail address of the authors, and identification of the person responsible for correspondence (including cell phone contact).
Also in the second phase, the pre-selected articles will be subject to an evaluation process by a Scientific Committee, which will consider their scientific quality and their contribution to public policy solutions in Portugal. The final decision on the articles will be communicated to their authors.
Authors must make available all information related to the article that is requested by the Scientific Committee, and must justify in detail the non-delivery in case of legal impediment.
