Through this series of events of the SciFY Academy initiative (October 2023 – December 2023), SciFY aspires to create a discussion platform bringing together representatives of IT, the environment, and citizens, aiming to inform and inspire ways for a more sustainable future.
Our goal is to discover together:

• how innovation can bring positive results,
• what’s the role of technology, and what are its limits,
• what the roles of man and society are.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about new technologies, practical tools, and ways to achieve sustainability at the level of state, industry, and individual.
