STARTS PRIZE is pleased to announce the creation of a new program – the “STARTS Cross-fertilization Program” – to support STARTS Prize recognised teams (winners and honorary mentions) to further explore their creative potential and have greater social, economic and sustainable impacts.
The Program considers the level of expertise of the STARTS PRIZE recognised teams and follows a method aiming at encouraging cross-fertilization. It provides support from different types of mentors, challenges the teams to explore and test their projects in different environments and co-organize masterclasses to share their experience with other individuals or organisations interested in sci-tech-arts projects.
How to join the program?
The program will support three (3) recognised STARTS Prize teams (winners and honorary mentions). Interested teams shall prepare a proposal and submit it by 31 October 2022 (23h59 Portugal time).
