E³UDRES² Hackathons

The fastlane to solving challenges

Real-Life Regional challenges solved by international teams - the best of both worlds!

What can you expect from a E³UDRES² Hackathon?

The main goal of a Hackathon is to come up with an innovative idea, a first concept draft for a challenge by researching and brainstorming together with your team. The twist: Hackathons only give you about 36 to 48 hours time to come up with your solution! Participating in a Hackathon will sharpen your time management and organization skills, and also teach you how to focus on the essentials in a project.

The Hackathon challenges are based on real-life problems local businesses and institutions are facing. Therefore, the themes and focuses for each event are ever-changing. The most exciting part? Everyone can participate, from students to university staff and even citizens. Add the international aspect of the event into the mix, and you get the perfect teams for solving the challenges!  

Support along the way

While you and your team work on coming up with the most suitable and creative solutions for the challenge, there are experienced mentors and experts available to give input and refine your ideas even further. After the working time is up and every team has submitted their best, most innovative idea, a jury will be voting for the solutions they support the most.
