Can you create solutions using space technology to help strengthen Europe’s security? The 5th CASSINI Hackathon is open for entries.
Be inspired by experts, learn to access data from Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo, and connect with a team to build your solution. This time, there are three challenges on the theme of defence and security:
