What kinds of tech, STEM & research events run in Goa?

If you're searching for a specific kind of tech, STEM, or research event in Goa, here's a quick map of what's typically on offer and where to find it.

AI workshops & build sessions

Hands-on, project-driven days - bring a problem, leave with a working AI prototype. WiTG & Poai run these regularly in Panjim.

Hackathons in Goa

Less frequent than in Bengaluru or Pune, but campus hackathons run at BITS Pilani Goa Campus and Goa Engineering College. We list partner hackathons here when they're open to the broader community.

Research talks & academic events

Talks on biotech, lab research, clinical research, AI/ML research, tech policy, and academic publishing - usually small-format, deeply technical, and open to curious folks beyond academia.

Panel discussions

Panels on AI, ethics, careers, and tech-meets-policy - typically evening events. WiTG's Beyond the Algorithm panel is the recent reference.

STEM mentorship circles

Smaller-format sessions where members offer career, technical, research, or product mentorship. WiTG runs these for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Networking & meetups

Casual gatherings - coffee, drinks, slow conversations. Often co-hosted with venues like Sadhana Dell'Arte and Unbox Cultural Futures.
