  A novel space-time discretization for the (linear) scalar-valued dissipative
wave equation is presented. It is a structured approach, namely, the
discretization space is obtained tensorizing the Virtual Element (VE)
discretization in space with the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method in time. As
such, it combines the advantages of both the VE and the DG methods. The
proposed scheme is implicit and it is proved to be unconditionally stable and
accurate in space and time.
