Knowledge

Miguel Galvão Teles Award

The Miguel Galvão Teles Award is a joint initiative arranged by Morais Leitão (through IMGT), the Instituto de Ciências Jurídico-Políticas (ICJP) and the Associação Académica da Faculdade de Direito de Lisboa (AAFDL). It aims to distinguish the best scientific article each year in the areas of constitutional law and international law, the branches to which Miguel Galvão Teles was most devoted when he was a professor at the University of Lisbon Law Faculty.
