The DIGITEC project, as part of its training activities, is organising a hackathon and two fablabs on Advanced Digital Technologies and Blockchain on 30 March. The aim of these events is to develop training activities for the transmission of knowledge in these digital technologies.

The hackathon and the fablab will take place in the R+D+i Building in Salamanca and the other fablab will be held in Ílhavo. All three events will feature activities related to blockchain.

In the event that will take place in Ílhavo, activities and challenges will be carried out to solve challenges related to sustainable agriculture, rural development and fair trade, as well as the problem of product and food waste. 

At the meeting, which will take place in Salamanca, hackathon participants will be able to choose the project they want to carry out, and will focus on the analysis of the requirements of the platform. In the fablab, an interface will be developed to show the use of these smart contracts.

The target audience is students and blockchain enthusiasts. The events are free of charge and will be held in person on 30 March. To participate it will be necessary to register at any of the following links:
