'Compos(tech)la': intelligent technologies hit the streets on the occasion of the 'Santiago en Vivo' event
The center joins this weekend's innovation and technology meeting promoted within the framework of the 'Santiago en Vivo' initiative, with a comprehensive outreach program aimed at engaging with society from the Alameda park in Santiago.
The CiTIUS will participate this weekend in the technological meeting Compos(tech)la, one of the events organized around the initiative Santiago en Vivo, which will turn the capital of Galicia into a showcase of innovation, science, and technology from June 6 to 8.
The fair, which will be held on June 7 and 8 at the Parque da Alameda, is designed as an open space for the entire public, where they can experiment with robots, immersive virtual reality, artificial intelligence models applied to health, language, or sustainability, and other demonstrations of the latest cutting-edge advancements.
Technology within everyone's reach
From its space in the University of Santiago de Compostela tent, the CiTIUS will showcase during two days some of its most innovative lines of research, with a focus on dissemination, participation, and accessibility. The program will include practical experiences, commented demonstrations, and even a roundtable on AI and society.

Santiago en Vivo: a city transforming
CiTIUS's participation in Compos(tech)la is part of the Santiago en Vivo program, a movement that seeks to transform Compostela into a benchmark of economic, social, and cultural dynamism. Through activities that combine technology, culture, gastronomy, and sports, the event seeks to promote the city and local talent, reinforce the sense of belonging, and revitalize the economic fabric.
In this context, the CiTIUS contributes by showing its commitment to transferring knowledge to society, bringing its research closer to people of all ages, and demonstrating how science and technology can improve everyday life.
