Dear student of the Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering,
the aim of this email is to make you aware of the opportunity to participate in the Rome Maker Faire, an event that has come to its X edition and which will take place at the Gazometro Ostiense from October 7th - 9th, 2022.

The areas of interest range from Electronics to Sustainability, from ICT to Design and Post-industrial design, from Cultural heritage to the definition of Innovative business models, including highly topical issues such as the creation of online communities, social innovation, circular and collaborative economy and all those innovations characterized by open-source mode and co-creation processes for the development of new technologies, new products and services.

The projects deemed most deserving, most innovative, most likely to give birth to new youth entrepreneurship will be rewarded.

If you have a brilliant idea in mind to solve any problem, you have created objects, devices or software that can take a step forward in technologies, an original invention, from small to large ones, you can submit a written presentation or even make a demonstration on stage, a performance or other.

We will host you in our stand.
