And what does it mean to have a positive impact?
It means being committed, not only to having a good academic record, but also to society. The competition was aimed at students studying any of the courses taught at the University of Oviedo's own centres. The winner, Javier Gancedo, received recognition with a sculpture by the young Asturian artist Carla Fanjul Huergo, a graduate of the Oviedo art school, as well as a €1,000 prize, which will be donated to CÁRITAS. Nominations were evaluated according to the following criteria:
●Social curriculum.Participation in social activities with NGOs or associations with a clear positive impact on Asturian society: 50% weighting of the final assessment.
●University curriculum.Participation in university life: student associations, sports associations, university governing bodies, etc.: weight of 30% of the final assessment.
●Academic curriculum.Qualifications obtained in undergraduate, postgraduate and/or master's degree studies: weighting of 20% of the final assessment.
In January 2024, we will launch the second edition of the award.
Participating is very simple. We will only need your academic situation, and your social CV; it is filled in through a form, where you will have to upload the requested files: ID, academic situation and the social and university curricula.
