The Call is open for initiatives using augmented and virtual reality, Artificial Intelligence, digital fabrication and maker creation, audiovisual digital resources and tools, robotics and programming or other emerging technologies.
In this case, proposals can address any of the 6 thematic areas.

In the Open Call modality , you can submit proposals that have been presented but not awarded in other competitions.
