The MERIT consortium within the Digital Europe MERIT project organises the first MERIThON, an international ideathon (Italy, Spain, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania) to be held simultaneously in Lithuania (Vilnius) and Spain (Manresa) on April 27, 2024.

The MERIThON is more than just an event: it will help foster collaboration and raise awareness about Advanced Digital Skills. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with top companies, showcase their talent, and contribute to the advancement of the MERIT project.

Who Can Participate?

Participants will unleash their creativity and problem-solving skills by tackling challenges in cutting-edge fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT), and other advanced digital skills (ADS) areas.

Through hands-on workshops and interactive sessions (mentoring), participants will have the opportunity to dive deep into these technologies and explore their limitless possibilities.
