Open call in Ciudad Bolívar

With the aim of strengthening young talent and building peace from knowledge, the call is open for the Youth in Science for Peace program, an initiative of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MinCiencias), supported by the Bogota Chamber of Commerce, aimed at young people between 18 and 28 years of age in the district of Ciudad Bolivar.

This program seeks to promote 50 initiatives, individual or collective (up to three people), through a training process in research, technological development and innovation (R+D+i), in addition to providing financial support in goods and services so that young people can develop their ideas, prototypes or ventures with local impact. The call arises from collaborative work with institutional and community actors, and is an invitation to more young people to join as protagonists of transformation in their territories.

It's your time! Apply your idea until October 30, promote your project.
