A tradition
Organized by the School of Engineering of Udelar and its Julio Ricaldoni Foundation, Ingeniería deMuestra is a scientific-technological fair that every year gathers a heterogeneous public that comes to discover and interact with developments related to robotics, energy, health, agriculture and transport, among other topics.
The first edition of IdM was held in 2009, based on an exhibition of end-of-degree projects from FING's Institute of Electrical Engineering. On that occasion, it occupied 600 square meters, where 24 projects were exhibited and visited by about 400 people.
Since then, the fair has continued to grow in size, duration, number of exhibited projects and number of visitors. Since 2015 it has been held over three days and covers more than 1,500 square metres of exhibition space, hosting more than 100 projects and welcoming more than 5,000 visitors.
In 2018, to celebrate 10 years, the exhibition moved to Salto, Tacuarembó and Rocha, to show how the University of the Republic does quality science and technology in a good part of the national territory.
