Starting on the morning of July 9, the workshop will offer an intense and diverse five-day programme, finishing on the evening of July 13. After a day of introductions and collective brainstorming, three days of experimentation, tests and construction will follow, with the final day culminating in setting-up the laboratory and the opening of the exhibition.
A diverse series of lectures, discussions and communal meals will be arranged as part of the programme and will provide input for the project, as well as opportunities for informal exchange.

The Solar Laboratory will take place from Tuesday, July 9 – Saturday, July 13.
Since the workshop will engage with direct sunlight, the warmest and driest month of the year was chosen for the programme. Having no sun is a possible scenario and should not be perceived as a restriction but rather as part of the beauty of working with the environment.
LOCATION
The workshop will take place in Vilnius at SODAS 2123 (Vitebsko St. 23). Both indoor workshop spaces and adjacent outdoor areas will allow participants to spread their ideas out in experimental setups.
OTHER PRACTICALITIES
Participation in the workshop is free of charge. Organisers will take care of structural materials and regular tools. Accommodation and regular meals are the responsibility of participants; however, organisers will take care of the final solar feast at the end of the laboratory.
APPLICATION AND PARTICIPATION
There are 15 spots available. The workshop is designed for students and solar enthusiasts of all creative disciplines roughly between the second year of bachelor’s degree (undergrad) studies and before the diploma or thesis project of master’s degree (graduate) studies. For participation in the workshop, students will be able to receive ECTS credits.
