Presentation follows training stages
Participation in the challenge involves a training phase, during which students from all over the world receive specialized support in preparing a presentation on their research work.
For Ricardo Veiga, this opportunity has made it “an extremely enriching experience”: “I learned to condense and convey complex ideas effectively to a diverse audience, not limited to experts in my field.”For the University of Algarve student, this participation will be “a precious opportunity to be exposed to new ideas and concepts”, as well as sharing their own work and innovations. “I’m particularly excited about the opportunities networking that the event provides”, explains Ricardo Veiga, before concluding: “These interactions are fundamental to expanding my professional perspective and opening doors to future collaborations and opportunities.”
