A challenge for young European talent. The VeneTo Stars Challenge, aimed at individuals aged 18 to 25, aims to inspire and promote innovative ideas that harness space data to realise cutting-edge projects.
The theme of the second edition of the VeneTo Stars Challenge is ‘Space Data for UNESCO Heritage Site Valorisation’. The young participants will be called upon to propose innovative ideas and projects that aim to safeguard and enhance the cultural heritage and UNESCO sites through the intelligent use of space data.
The official presentation of the initiative took place in Paris, at UNESCO, thanks to the collaboration between the Italian Representation to UNESCO and the Italian Representation to the European Space Agency (ESA). The event was attended by the regional councillor for Budget and Digital Agenda, together with representatives and experts from UNESCO and ESA.
The event will be broadcast live on the Veneto Digital Agenda Facebook channel (@adveneto)
