Tomorrow Summit sets agenda for securing the objectives of the European Year of Youth
"What is going to change and what is our role as young people in the society we live in?": this is the theme that will guide Tomorrow Summit2022, in the year in which we celebrate the European Year of Youth. The event will take place on 10th and 11th November, at the Alfândega do Porto Congress Centre, and is free participation. The Porto Regional Centre will participate, for the fifth consecutive year, in an event that is organised by the Academic Federation of Porto.
The conference will feature speakers from business, government and academia. Manuela Pintado, researcher and director of the Biotechnology and Fine Chemistry Centre, will participate in the panel "The impact of technology on sustainable food systems".
"The 5th Edition of the Tomorrow Summit will be a generator of dreams and projects so that the future is a product of talent and knowledge and not just a fluke. After all, we young people wish to be the change we want to see in the world and not just spectators of a future that when it is not prepared turns out to be bleak," states the event's organisation.
The aim of this event has been to lead the discussion for "tomorrow". Leading the new generations to seize their future and set the innovation agenda are the main premises. At the Tomorrow Summit, participants will find an ecosystem of innovation, research and technology, through a platform for participation, collaboration and learning, and a unique opportunity, with truly empowering conditions, to bring your ideas to life!
The Universidade Católica will also be present at the Tomorrow Room, in a space that focuses on contact between academia, business and students to share knowledge.
In the 2021 edition, Isabel Braga da Cruz, Pro-Rector of the Universidade Católica, was a speaker on the panel "Social innovation as a driver for the reduction of regional asymmetries." Being a partner of the event for the fifth consecutive year, the Porto Regional Centre intends to contribute to the discussion of the future, to the promotion of dialogue and to the sharing of knowledge.
