to scientific works performed or published in areas related to the 
proposed work plan (corresponding to 35% of the evaluation); B. The

(5% of the assessment). If deemed necessary, and with a view to 
evaluation at this stage of the competition, the jury may request 
references from the candidate to the academic individuals mentioned in 
article 4, paragraph 1, al. d). In the second phase of the competition, 
the jury will select for an interview (corresponding to 10% of the total 
evaluation) up to 5 candidates from those who, in the first phase, 
obtained the highest classification - in any event, only evaluations 
higher than 60%. In the event of a tie, the final decision will be the 
responsibility of the president of the jury. Once the selection phases 
have been completed, the jury will draw up, within a maximum period of 5 
working days, a minute showing the final decision, the ordered list of 
approved candidates, with the respective final classification, as well 
as a summary description of the recruitment process, evaluation and 
selection undertaken. The jury's final decision, as referred to in
