Viana STARTS Think-Tank
🗓️ November 6, Friday, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
📌 Location: DINAMO10
🇵🇹 Part of Portugal Tech Week
A participatory Think Tank on the role of Science, Technology and the Arts in the transformation of Viana do Castelo.
Starting from the framework and goals of Viana STARTS, participants are invited to identify the resources and skills that already exist in the territory, the challenges and opportunities emerging, and the possible links between different areas and local players.
Working in small groups, the goal is to arrive at concrete ideas for collaboration, experimentation or projects that can strengthen the Viana STARTS ecosystem and bring technology, knowledge, creativity and the city closer together.
🎟️ Free participation, limited to 20 spots.
🟡 Who is this Think Tank for?
Students, professionals, and anyone curious about how science, technology and the arts can shape Viana do Castelo.
