Participate!

Your idea is science! (La teva idea és ciència!) is a competition promoted by the University in collaboration with the iSocial Foundation and with the support of AGAUR.

The objective is to create spaces for dialogue between users and technical staff of social services, with research staff and students of the UPC, to jointly find solutions to social challenges through scientific and technological projects.

The first edition focuses on the needs of people with intellectual disabilities, a vulnerable group.

The best ideas will be evaluated and presented at a conference at the UPC, offering recognition to the academic community.

During January 2025, meetings will be held in the UPC libraries with students, teaching staff, technicians and users of social services to exchange ideas and raise the challenges that the projects presented must achieve.
