The initiative aims to connect university knowledge with key areas for the Archipelago, such as housing, mobility, public works, nautical management, and maritime transport. Students can form multidisciplinary teams and submit proposals addressing these challenges.
One of the new features of this edition is the technical visits to works and infrastructure projects carried out by the Ministry. Students will be able to learn firsthand about the characteristics and technical particularities of the projects and hear explanations from the responsible professionals.
These visits allow for an understanding of the challenges involved in infrastructure development, learning about planning and execution processes, and establishing direct contact with the technicians working on various projects. The first edition brought nearly a hundred students to projects such as the Erjos tunnel, the Arucas ring road, the Port of Granadilla, and construction quality laboratories.
With this second edition, the ArchipiélaGO Awards continue to strengthen collaboration between universities and public administration, fostering knowledge exchange and bringing future professionals closer to projects that contribute to the development of the Canary Islands.
