Registration
The Valencian Observatory on Open Data and Transparency In collaboration with the Vice Rectorate for Art, Science, Technology and Society, offers some Culture and art seminars to interest, educate and raise awareness of the possibilities of open data in culture, art and research.
These seminars are open to the public and will be offered in the A-4-2 classroom of the Master in Visual and Multimedia Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts.
Through these seminars the aim is to address projects, by those registered, that will allow them to participate in the Datathon 2022. This competition arises from the collaboration between different Chairs and research groups of the Universities of the Community of Valencia interested in the use and dissemination of open data.
The seminars will be guided by Emanuele Mazza, brief CV:
