Raquel Varela was one of the researchers awarded the Santander Prize for the Internationalisation of Scientific Production from NOVA FCSH in 2020, ranking second place ex-aequo in the Researcher Award category.

Like Océane Boudeau (CESEM) and André Santos Campos (IFILNOVA), the IHC researcher published five papers in international journals indexed in the Web of Science and/or SCOPUS in 2019. Raquel Varela’s papers were published in the journals Critique, Journal of Labor and Society, and Tempo & Argumento, covering topics such as immigration, the European social pact and self-management.

Unlike previous years, exceptionally and due to the pandemic context, FCSH decided to allocate funding from the bank sponsoring the Prize to compensate for the economic difficulties of some students, so the award did not have a monetary prize.
