Dear CeDRI members

We are pleased to announce the official opening of nominations for the CeDRI EDI+ IMPACT Research Award.

This annual award aims to recognise and celebrate a scientific publication, published in the last 12 months, that stands out for its explicit integration of principles of Equity, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion (EEDI), Ethical Responsibility and Civic Engagement. The initiative is in line with CeDRI's strategic vision, which values a research culture that is more inclusive, ethical and has an impact on society.

Eligibility criteria:

The publication must have been officially published in the 12 months prior to the application deadline;

It must explicitly incorporate EEDI values, ethical responsibility or civic engagement in the content, methodology or application;

The applicant must be affiliated with CeDRI at the time of publication. Submission is individual, even if the publication is the result of collective work.

Applications must be submitted by 31 May 2025 via the link tinyurl.com/cedriedi

The full regulations can be found at: cloud.ipb.pt/f/4b6d8478f85c4358aedc/

The evaluation of applications will be conducted by a multidisciplinary panel composed of researchers:

Sofia Bergano (Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, Portugal)

Juan Pavón (Complutense University of Madrid, Spain)

Zahia Guessoum (University of Reims-Champagne, France)

The winner will be announced at the annual SASYR meeting (2 July), where they will receive a certificate and a cash prize. The winning work will be publicised on CeDRI's communication channels, and the authors will be invited to present it at a seminar.

We are counting on your active participation to give visibility to research that promotes fairer, more ethical science with a transformative social impact.
