October 5th event: Mini-Makeathon

Dear students,

Hereby we would like to invite you to a Mini-Makeathon organized by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and PlantLab as part of the EIT Food project "Cultivating Engagement: A Citizen Participation Forum on Vertical Farming". The event will take place on the 5th of October 2018 at the Design Museum in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

During this day, students and young professionals from several studies will work together in multidisciplinary teams to develop a new food concept for vertically farmed lettuce that takes into account a challenge that vertical farming faces.

Coaches will help you to develop your food concept to the fullest, wherewith you can compete for a very unique price! The three teams with the most promising concepts will get the chance to present their concept to a professional jury during the World Food Day festival on the 13^th of October in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. This jury will select the final winners.

The Mini-Makeathon will start at 9.00 and ends at 17.00. Lunch and drinks will be taken care off.

Register before the 1^st of October by sending an email to tnaus@plantlab.nl (including your name + the name of your study). Questions can be send to the same address. There are only a limited number of places available (full=full), so make sure you register on time. After registration you will receive a confirmation by email.

We hope to meet you on the 5^th of October!

Kind regards on behalf of the team,

Vera Colstee, Mascha Gugganig, Thong Le Hoang, Tessa Naus, Franziska Nees and Martina Söll
