Join the Hackathon in Kristiansand!
Discover the potential of space data and create a solution to support environmental change or green transition. Join the 7th CASSINI Hackathon in Norway to network, collaborate, and explore important challenges. Your next venture could start here…
Registration is free, and anyone can join; no experience is necessary. You’ll be inspired by local experts in business and space technology. You’ll learn how to access space data from Copernicus and satellite positioning and navigation services from EGNOS and Galileo. You’ll meet skilled people, join a team, and develop a pitch to meet one of the challenges:
- Monitoring and reporting on carbon emissions
- Optimising services and planning to develop sustainable living
- Predicting and mitigating climate change
Earlier this year, NRK produced a documentary about the effects on nature and critical loss of biodiversity caused by the construction industry in Norway. It was further evidence that we’re on the brink of a sustainable transition. New technologies, including artificial intelligence and space tech, will play a crucial role.
The buzz is building: join us for this Hackathon and discover how we can work together to meet these important challenges. Our local Hackathon will be held in the Sustainability Centre in Kristiansand between 13th-15th September.
