About students@DigiMedia
It is a DigiMedia initiative that aims to include students from 1st and 2nd cycle in research activities, following the challenge launched by the University of Aveiro (UA) Rectory to the Research Units, in 2021.

What is new in this 4th edition?
The students@DigiMedia initiative began involving only researchers and students in the area of ​​Communication Sciences and Technologies. #03 edition introduced the possibility of students from other scientific areas to participate in project teams, with great success, resulting in the involvement of students from Music, Social Sciences, Design, IT, Languages, Education, Health and Physics.
This year researchers from all scientific areas at the UA can also submit proposals for (small) research projects, aiming at further strengthening collaboration between the UA Research Units.

How students@DigiMedia works?
This initiative works as a facilitator for researchers to present proposals for research projects that will be developed with the collaboration of a group of students. The work carried out is voluntary and there are no prizes, except certificates of participation. The work required from each student cannot exceed 50 hours throughout the entire project. This aims to establish a balance between what is voluntary work and the benefits students can obtain by participating in a research activity and developing transversal skills.
