The Centre for Biomedical Research (CBMR) will participate, from 2 to 6 July, at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in the “Emergence – Digital Media Science Communication Hackaton”.

This event aims to bring together scientists, techies, artists, and others, to collaboratively create digital media based projects that communicate complex concepts in scientific research.

In this intensive 5 day-long event participants will be immersed in a collaborative setting where they will be guided through the process of exploring various digital media technologies (e.g. Film, Interactive Technologies, VR) with a focus on creating stories for both linear and experiential formats. Throughout the event each team will be assigned a mentor, who takes the producer role of the team, ensuring that each team is on track and assisting with any resources needed.

Free public showing of the projects at Pavilhão do Conhecimento on July 6 from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. Everyone is welcome!

Centre for Biomedical Research (CBMR) will be represented by Isa Mestre, your communication officer.
