Afterward, participants recharged with breakfast in the school courtyard and then visited some of the most notable facilities, including TechLab Manresa, the Valentí Masachs Geology Museum, and various laboratories.

Finally, a presentation was delivered by Ricardo de la Vega, head of the UPC's Organizational Development Service (SDO), which focused on innovation proposals in the field of workshops and laboratories.
