The Primus Inter Pares Award is a joint initiative of Banco Santander Totta and the Expresso newspaper, in partnership with McKinsey, through the Manuel Violante Foundation. The aim of this program is to value talent in Portugal and contribute to the development of a culture of professionalism and excellence in company management.
In each edition, the three best final-year candidates from economics, management or engineering courses are chosen, based on assessment criteria such as leadership, initiative and teamwork skills, which are fundamental to finding future leaders.
The prize for the three winners consists in offering a MBA at prestigious national and international universities: Universidade Nova and Universidade Católica (Lisbon MBA), ISCTE, ISEG, INSEAD, IESE and Instituto de Empresa (IE). In the case of attendance abroad, the Prize will also include a grant of 7,500 euros for travel and accommodation expenses.
This year, for the first time, the 4th and 5th place winners will also receive a postgraduate course at ISEG.
The
Primus Inter Pares Award is part of Banco Santander Totta's Social Responsibility policy, whose main area of intervention is support for Knowledge and Higher Education.
