In 2022, the Graduate Studies Committee (CPG) organized the 1st Graduate Studies Symposium to celebrate the resumption of in-person activities after the pandemic and to welcome new Master's and Doctoral students from the USP Physics Institute. The event seeks to promote reflections on the role and direction of research and graduate studies at the IF, USP, Brazil, and the world.
In addition to presentations and lectures by leading names from the Institute and Physics, the Symposium also includes the Graduate Studies Awards ceremony, created to value our students in their research, teaching, and outreach activities, recognizing and encouraging their performance in different areas of activity.
Currently, the CPG plans to hold annual editions of the Symposium, and the announcement is made with the publication of the call for applications for the Graduate Studies Awards. Students, advisors and other members of the IFUSP community are invited to submit their own work and/or that of their colleagues in the following categories:
•Best Doctoral Thesis.
•Best Master's Dissertation.
•Outstanding scientific article - which must have had the relevant participation of the graduate student enrolled in this category.
•Outstanding participation in an international event (online or in person) - in which the student presented a paper.
•Outstanding research by a beginning student - aimed at first-year graduate students at IFUSP.
•Outstanding teaching, tutoring or internship.
•Outstanding instrumentation or software development.
•Outstanding innovation and entrepreneurship.
•Outstanding inclusion, diversity and equity. Award aimed at students who have contributed to the benefit of underrepresented social groups in academia. Contributions can be made in many ways, including scientific research and activities that have led to greater visibility of these groups in academia, as well as other worthy initiatives.
