The award aims to promote good learning practices that exceed the limits of academic discipline and enable students to develop in an inclusive, collaborative, and dynamic learning environment.
The winners will receive a monetary prize and an invitation to deliver a lecture during the Arqus University Alliance annual conference, which will take place from the 2nd to the 4th of July in Braga, Spain.
