During the morning sessions, participants will gain the knowledge and practical insights needed to succeed throughout the event. The program will focus on:
- Idea generation and problem identification
- Innovation and solution implementation
- Presentation and storytelling techniques
- Pitch preparation and communication skills
- Understanding how to sell and promote ideas effectively
The goal is to equip participants with the tools, knowledge, and confidence needed to develop strong solutions and present them convincingly.
The evening sessions will be dedicated to hands-on work and collaboration. Participants will engage in:
- Teamwork activities
- Mentoring sessions with experts
- Solution development
- Networking opportunities
- Pitching and feedback rounds
By combining learning and practical implementation, the 8th MERIThON aims to create an even more engaging and productive experience for all participants.
International Collaboration Across the Baltics
One of the most exciting developments this year is the growing international dimension of MERIThON. For the first time, the event will bring together students from Lithuania and Latvia, strengthening collaboration between the neighbouring countries.
We are delighted to welcome a student delegation from Riga Technical University (RTU), whose participation will enrich the experience through new perspectives, expertise, and cross-border teamwork. This collaboration reflects the MERIT project’s commitment to fostering international cooperation, knowledge exchange, and digital innovation across Europe.
