Interested in creating solutions using EU space technology to support international development and humanitarian aid? The 6th CASSINI Hackathon is open for entries. This is your chance to explore important global challenges from a new perspective with people from all backgrounds!
Find inspiration from experts, and gain the know-how to utilise data from Copernicus, satellite positioning and navigation services from Galileo & EGNOS. Embark with your team on one of three challenges centred around the theme of international development and humanitarian aid:
- Supporting sustainable infrastructure development
- Strengthening food security & access to clean water
- Understanding and forecasting forced migration
Our Portuguese organiser, Ripply, connects entrepreneurs and stakeholders with a mission to advance the data ecosystem. Held in Porto Business School, the 6th CASSINI Hackathon is your chance to learn from experts from the University of Porto, the World Food Programme, and the Portugal Space Agency.
Join us in Porto between Friday the 3rd and Sunday the 5th of November to learn how to turn your ideas and our space data into impactful solutions. Ripply will invite a panel of experts to provide local insights for each of the three challenges. Will you be one of the people who helps to make a difference?
