This two-day event is focused on innovation and creativity, by offering workshops that address the multiple social, environmental, and technological challenges that arise when “reinventing the rural”.
The aim of the Terra Creative Jam is to find solutions that can help “reinvent the rural”. This event, which is focused on creativity and innovation for generating ideas at the USC, is held over a two-day period. It offers workshops to address multiple social, environmental, and technological challenges. The event is structured as a first day dedicated to ideation, games for generating ideas, and sustainable projects. Training is provided via specific workshops, such as those on prototyping with 3D printing and laser cutting, gamification, drones, virtual reality, and AI, in addition to sports and other leisure activities. The second day consists of a Hackathon competition, where teams will be working on a prototype to create a solution and explain it to a panel of judges.

The event covers a variety of thematic areas, including everything from green economies to more efficient and sustainable production methods, rural education with inclusivity and equality, female entrepreneurship in the rural environment, food safety, rural tech, local development, active aging in rural communities, creative and cultural revitalisation, and much more.

This event is promoted by the Terra Campus through the USC’s Value Creation, Knowledge Transfer and Entrepreneurship Area, in collaboration with the Lug Open Factory business incubator.
