It is an initiative that aims not only to recognize but also to highlight academic work that demonstrates a high level of excellence and significant contribution to the field. AB3C firmly believes in the potential of academic research to drive the advancement of science and technology. Therefore, this award is an expression of our commitment to encouraging and supporting researchers who are at the forefront of this dynamic and constantly evolving field.
Submitted works will undergo an initial stage in which up to three (3) best doctoral theses and up to three (3) best master's dissertations will be selected. Each work will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee.
