Unicaja and the Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca (UPSA), through the Vice-Rectorate for Research and Educational Innovation, have opened a new call for Talent Junior, an initiative with which they intend to promote talent and social innovation of Salamanca students, as well as to promote knowledge transfer.
This contest, framed within the UPSA Innovation University Club, is aimed at students of compulsory secondary education, baccalaureate and vocational training in the province of Salamanca. The projects and products developed by the students must be innovative, have a social purpose and be aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In addition, all projects submitted will compete for a total of ten prizes with a maximum endowment of 500 €, which will be shared with NGOs and not-for-profit associations in the province, dedicated to social inclusion. The deadline for submitting projects will be 19 December 2024.
Unicaja and the UPSA have a collaboration agreement in this sense, with the aim of promoting talent and social innovation of Salamanca students of non-university education, as well as promoting the transfer of knowledge in Salamanca society. In addition, both entities share their commitment to social inclusion and collaborate closely with not-for-profit organizations.
The Talent Junior call is an initiative that fulfills the commitments to promote the exchange of talent, knowledge, creativity and technology between students and institutions and economic and social agents.
