As a result of the imposed restrictions on events due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition of Eurekathon will take place mostly on a virtual event platform. This platform will be where all the action takes place during the first phase of the competition. Only the final event will be presential, if possible, with the finalists teams and the jury. It will take place on November 14th, in Lisbon.
