What are the modalities of the work?


1. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) PROJECTS


In this modality, participants are invited to present their research at different stages of development. Participants may choose to share a proposal, an ongoing project or one that has already been completed. This allows to show the research process from the initial idea to its conclusions, fostering a space for feedback and collaborative learning.

2. BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROJECTS


This category is designed for projects with a focus on the development of business ideas. Participants may submit business ideas, detailed business plans or projects that are already underway. The objective is to stimulate innovation in business, promoting solutions that respond to market and industry needs.

3. INNOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS


This modality seeks to highlight projects that are implementing or developing new technologies, products or methodologies. The idea is for participants to share how their innovations can positively impact the industrial and academic sector, contributing to the advancement and improvement of existing processes.

4. TEACHING OR GRADUATE RESEARCHER


This modality is intended for teachers or graduates who wish to present their research at any stage. The idea is to provide a space for experienced researchers to share their knowledge and findings with students, thus promoting interest and experience in research within the academic community.
