The extraordinary two-day technology event in Rome begins on Friday afternoon with a press conference at the Sapienza University Faculty of Engineering and ends on Sunday with the awards that will be presented to three winners and the selection of two projects that will participate in the global NASA Competition.
The International Space Apps Challenge is free and open to technologists, scientists, designers, artists, educators, entrepreneurs, developers and students who love science and technology. Working language is English; so at least one team member must have a good command of English.
The press conference will be held on Friday, April 10 at 4:45 pm at the Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering at Sapienza University on Via Eudossiana 18 (consult the map).
The conference will be chaired by Prof Marcello Onofri.
