The University of Porto has announced the winners of the 2026 Incentive Award, recognising students who, in their first year of study, achieved exceptional results during the 2024/2025 academic year. Among the 23 award winners, the field of Informatics and Computing Engineering, taught jointly by FEUP and FCUP, stood out particularly strongly.
The students honoured with the 2026 Incentive Award include Rodrigo Roque (19,43) and Guilherme Cunha (19,43), both from the Bachelor’s Degree in Informatics and Computing Engineering (L.EIC), who achieved the highest average mark among all new students at the University of Porto; Filipe Zheng (19,3), from the Bachelor’s Degree in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (L:IACD); Gustavo Bastos (19,05) and António Morais (18,55), also students from L.EIC, were recognised for their outstanding performance in their first year.
The Incentive Award, granted to the best first-year students across the 15 faculties, represents not only public recognition of merit but also an incentive for their future academic journey, being equivalent to the annual tuition fees for each course. This distinction will be formally presented at the University Day 2026 Ceremony.
With outstanding performance clearly above the average, students of Informatics and Computing Engineering continue to establish themselves in one of the strongest and most promising areas at U.Porto.
