External students are not eligible to participate in the selection process for the PIBIC Award.

It is recommended that the abstract be sent in the “expanded” format, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 pages, containing the project objectives, a brief description of the research and the results obtained.
You can insert images, graphs, or whatever you prefer to illustrate your research.
We provide templates in “.doc”, “.ppt” and “.odt” in the section Registrations to facilitate the organization of summaries.

No. Only students who have already completed or are in the final stages of completing their research should participate in the event.

8. I am an undergraduate student at Unicamp and I wish to apply for the PIBIC Award. What should I do?
Simply select this award type on your entry form. Ready! You will already be running.
After the end of registration, all received research will be analyzed by an internal committee, formed by Unicamp professors. This committee will be responsible for pre-selecting approximately ten percent of the papers that stand out for their scientific quality.
The shortlisted authors will be evaluated during the poster presentations by an Advisory Committee representing CNPq, invited by the Pro-Rectorate for Research.
The Advisory Committee representing CNPq will be responsible for selecting the 20 best works presented by Unicamp students.
