European Maker Week - 30 MAY until 5 JUNE 2016 - MAKE

European Maker Week

Is an initiative promoted by European Commission and implemented by Maker Faire Rome in collaboration with Startup Europe.

 

 

 

A European Maker Week é uma iniciativa promovida pela Comissão Europeia e que, em parceria com a Maker Faire Rome e a Startup Europe, quer dar ainda maior visibilidade ao movimento maker e inspirar o maior número possível de pessoas a deixarem-se pela sua curiosidade e desejo de criar.


 Quem estiver interessado em organizar um evento poderá encontrar informação adicional no site da European Maker Week.

Organize an event

All the FabLabs, Makerspaces, Hackerspaces, Schools and University labs, Research Centers and generally, all those Institutions that work with passion within the maker world, will be able to organize events and activities between May 30 and June 5. (Suggestions here)

During  the European Maker Week you can schedule:

• Workshops and informative courses
• Conferences and talks about innovative maker projects
• Project exhibitions and shows
• Meetings with the business  world to stimulate synergies between makers, craftsmen and industry
• Meetings with local Institutions to promote public policies within: the digital technologies field, the shared manufacturing space and the Hardware Startups.

The local organizers will be responsible for designing the activities and promoting them among local communities and institutions. Therefore scheduling an event during the European Week Maker will guarantees:    

• great visibility (hundreds of events organized simultaneously across Europe);
• media attention: our Press & Social Media team will pay specific attention to all the organized events by interviewing all the organizers;
• the official endorsement coming from the European Maker Week and the European Commission, will ensure the recognition of being officially co-organizer of the Week;
• each organizer will receive a communication toolkit (coordinated visual identity).

What if you are new to the maker movement?

We want to particularly attract new players who have never before organised a maker event to organise an event within the EMW – European Maker Week. The European Commission and Maker Faire Rome believe that it is important that all schools in Europe consider the aspects of making as an essential part of the education activities of the schools. If you are a school and you have no previous experience in the makers world, please indicate it clearly in the application form so that we assist you. We will put you in contact with experienced people in your own region or country so that they can provide you with their own experience.
