This virtual hackathon will provide a unique opportunity to bring together data and multidisciplinary scientists, software developers, social innovators, students, and businesses in Europe and around the world to harness the wealth of open-source, marine data offered by EMODnet to develop solutions to Ocean challenges.
This third edition of the hackathon –OSL 3.0– will invite participants to explore and test the new features brought by EMODnet’s newly unified portal and to put their skills to test in evolving innovative ways of using open-source data to support important marine targets.
During the (optional) 3-week warm-up online sessions as well as during the virtual hackathon, participants will be supported by an impressive array of marine data and science professionals across Europe, spanning all EMODnet thematic and hackathon partners. Hackathon winners will be featured at the European Maritime Day 2023 in Brest, France (May 2023).
