A Copernicus Hackathon is not your average contest. This initiative, financed by the European Commission, aims to bring together all kinds of disciplines to develop new applications based on Copernicus Earth observation (EO) data and services. From developers to entrepreneurs and from designers to scientists: everyone with an ambitious mindset is welcome!

This year, SBIC Noordwijk & PLNT Leiden decided to do something different. Due to the pandemic, the hackathon will be hybrid - both online and offline. Next to that, we added several challenges:

• COVID-19 CHALLENGE
• SPACE FOR EQUALITY & INCLUSION CHALLENGE
• SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS CHALLENGE

The European Commission also made sure this year other space based technologies besides EO are allowed to work with. Everything for the greater good!

Because of all these changes, we have an information session for anyone who has questions or wants to better prepare. Join us!
