ADS_CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS 

The UPV introduces ADS Agora Development Summit, an international student conference, held in the city of València under the name of the prestigious “Generación Espontánea” programme (UPV’s Innovative Ecosystem), part of the Design Factory Global Network. This event is organized by a multidisciplinary group of outstanding students from our university.

· What’s the topic? 
We want to put the focus on education, and specially on “what are we not teaching?”, slogan of this edition. We will investigate it through 6 methodological approaches to understand how to adapt to the future of our society. 

· Who can participate? 
We will bring together 50 university students (aged 18-26) from around the world to discuss the topic. The only requirement is to be motivated, have critical thinking and an English level of B2/C1.

· How? 
Throughout conferences, workshops, and debates the students will be able to discuss, discover, learn, and bring in their views together with experts, institutions, and companies. A final document out of the event will be developed, and students will be able to join the ADS Blog community to pursue the topic and generate new projects.

· When? 
February 4-7th 2027, in València. The international conference will cover the accommodation and meals of the three days. Students will be together and sharing spaces at all times as co-living is part of the experience.
