Join the Hackathon in Aarhus!
Are you ready to develop solutions to shape the future of health? The 9th CASSINI Hackathon provides training, mentoring, and inspiration to power your next project. Could you be part of Denmark's next space tech start-up? Big ideas start right here…
Join this event to hear from national experts in health and space technology. Watch our online training sessions and learn to use the data from Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo. Bring or join a team, and develop a solution for one of three challenges:
- Monitoring disease outbreaks and health risks
- Enhancing smart emergency healthcare delivery
- Supporting mental health and well-being
Denmark is famous for innovation in healthcare – most notably Novo Nordisk. Could space technology supply the next health innovation? The government has recently launched the Danish Strategy for Space Research and Innovation (2025-35), advocating the use of space data to develop sustainable solutions. It could help us deliver predictive healthcare, optimised medical logistics and equitable care access.
To be inspired by local experts and network with international stakeholders and investors, join us between 16-18th May 2025.

Google Earth Engine
Experience how Google Earth Engine makes satellite data access incredibly simple, letting you visualize and analyze planetary-scale imagery in no time. Harness its cloud-based platform to quickly spot the patterns that shape disease outbreaks, emergency care or mental health challenges. Tap into a massive library of public datasets to fuel new “Space for Healthcare” solutions. Join us to see how Earth observation can supercharge your hackathon ideas and revolutionize healthcare.
Speaker: Christoffer Karoff
Our experts will provide valuable insights to help you design a relevant solution.
Aarhus University is home to DISCO, the Danish Student CubeSat programme.
