Applications will be evaluated according to the following criteria: scientific quality of the article; relevance of the study and relevance of the results obtained under the theme of the Call; and the candidate's contribution to the work published or accepted for publication.

The João Monjardino Award was created in 2021, replacing the former Pulido Valente Award and resulting from the protocol signed between the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and the Professor Francisco Pulido Valente Foundation.
