We need a little caffeine for our brain to work, tea works too 😛 In our Jams there is no moment of rest; This moment is self-managed by the teams: for reasons of not accumulating too many participants in the dining room and to be more efficient at work. The table will be available one hour after breakfast or lunch and you can enter as many times as you want.

Several experts will be on hand throughout the event to help you better understand the topic and shape your creative idea for blue regeneration.
Each team will be coordinated by an experienced mentor over the years in different creative sessions. They will be there to provide you with useful tools and methods to set up your idea, work on your prototype, and give you some tips for your presentation.
Do you have a clear idea and would you like to share it with your colleagues? Forward! To do this you will have 5 minutes to present your ideas. Then you must negotiate whether it is valid or not and you are included in the challenges that we propose in Creative Jam.
Let’s work as a team with our mentor.
