Seeking to encourage young authors, in 2011 ANACOM began sponsorship of the Best Student Paper Award, awarding one thousand euros to the best paper presented by a student, who is both the leading author of the paper and who makes an oral presentation of the paper at the annual Congress of the Portuguese Committee of URSI.
With the same objective, in 2015, ANACOM decided to constitute the Best Student Poster Award, worth five hundred euros, to be awarded to the best poster presented by a student, who is both the poster's first author and who makes a presentation of the Poster during the Congress of the Portuguese Committee of URSI.
