Known for its unique format, VdR–Pitching offers the participants the opportunity to present, to thoroughly discuss the form and content of their projects with decision makers and to find out which contexts and collaborations might be the most relevant for them.
The first and second sessions of pitches and closed roundtables have been unfolding for two days online with the 11 first projects and 50 decision makers at the roundtables for each session.
The third session of pitches will take place online today from 14:00, the 5 last projects will be pitched and its roundtables will follow.
