Raul Morais, Professor at the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD) and researcher of CRIIS, alongside Filipe Santos, also a researcher of CRIIS, promoted this initiative, which intended to present robotic projects particularly related to smart agriculture, namely the ROMOVI project, in order to also attract young students to this multidisciplinary area.

This initiative, which was organised by the pole of INESC TEC/CRIIS at UTAD and by UTAD itself under the activities of the Open University, was attended by approximately 200 students from the Secondary Schools of Penafiel.
