Description
The “Best Portuguese Internet Research Award of the Internet Society 2024” is an initiative of the Portuguese Chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC.PT) with the aim of promoting and rewarding the best research results, carried out in Portugal, with relevance and potential future impact on an evolution of the Internet aligned with the objectives of the Internet Society. These goals can be summarized as follows:
- make the Internet accessible everywhere and for everyone, with decentralized control, interoperable, reliable and trustworthy;
- increase user security and protect citizens' rights online; and
- contribute to combating abusive and disproportionate surveillance, censorship for political or racial reasons, disinformation, hate speech and social disintegration.
Eligible papers
Papers eligible for the prize are any papers that have already been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication, or have already been published, that are aligned with the objectives of the prize and that are “open access”, or have an accessible version without restrictions (e.g. arXiv or equivalent).
