The Climathon will be accessible online for both the public and all the people involved.
To participate in the Climathon, individual participants must register on the official website: https://climathon.climate-kic.org/europe/italy/venice
Then the teams will be completed by putting together the different profiles and skills through a pre-event call. Each teams will be able to participate virtually or to book a workstation within the Fabbrica H3, and work according to anti-covid19 regulations. The first morning will begin with a series of dialogues in which the institutional representatives of the city will introduce the context of the challenges proposed by the Circular Economy. An image of the territory of the municipality of Venice will be painted to start reflecting and outlining the possible areas of intervention. The morning will end with a round table in which inspiring realities that have worked in this field will present valuable experiences in business, entrepreneurship or associationism. From the early afternoon, the real jobs will begin: all participants divided into teams according to the skills and wishes of each, will start working on the projects that at the end of the second day will be presented during the "Final Ceremony", in which a jury formed by the most experienced personalities will have to evaluate the real potential of each project.
