According to Martínez-Soria, the aim of this initiative is to “stimulate socio-environmental entrepreneurship among university students” through a program centered around a journey to the cold continent of Antarctica. For the organizers, this trip to the Antarctic Peninsula would be “the most emotional moment” of the journey, though the project aims to generate synergies and encourage students to propose and develop environmentally related projects.
