Pitch & Round Table Sessions
*What a pitch is:
A ppt and/or a short presentation where you explain your project idea (as specific as possible), as well as what partners you are looking for (countries/specialities) and what kind of funding you think of (Erasmus+ etc). Participants can approach you afterwards and show their interest / availability.
Please note that we are aware that all participants are interested in working together in exchanging students and/or staff; this is not the intention of a pitch.
Your contact person for the pitches: Manuela Guimarães (manuela.guimaraes@forave.pt)
**What a round table is:
During the round table session you can share information in a small group (approx. 10 persons) about a project you participate(d) in regarding technical education by showing a ppt on your own laptop or sharing leaflets or papers. It is possible to bring roll-ups and brochures. You can use this as dissemination results for your project.
Your contact person for the round table: Manuela Guimarães (manuela.guimaraes@forave.pt)
