Support for Young Researchers in Art Studies [315 530]
In 2008, the Fine Arts Department introduced a new programme of Support for Young Researchers
in Art Studies made possible through the award of annual (non-renewable) scholarships to
a maximum of two research projects presented by young researchers already displaying a significant
curriculum, but not yet fully integrated into professional structures in their area of specialisation,
and aged under 40 at the time when their application was presented.
This annual programme seeks to encourage vocational training and professional development,
with the applicants being assessed by a jury of specialists of recognised merit. For this first
edition of the competition, the jury consisted of Raquel Henriques da Silva and Isabel Carlos,
and the scholarships were awarded to the two candidates mentioned below, chosen from
amongst 17 applicants:

of Contemporary Art from the New University of Lisbon (2008). She is currently preparing her
