Join the Hackathon in Barcelona!
Discover the potential of space data and create a solution to support environmental change or green transition. Join the 7th CASSINI Hackathon in Spain 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
Climate change is a challenge in Spain: last year, some areas experienced up to 60 days of very strong heat stress and up to 5 days of extreme heat stress. Coastal regions, such as Catalonia, are suffering significant infrastructure damage due to beach erosion. At this Hackathon, you can learn more about this critical situation from experts and build solutions for real change. Join us at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 20 minutes outside Barcelona, between 13th-15th September and leverage EU space data for the chance to win.
