7º Hackathon Cassini:
Environment & Green Transition
What is a Cassini Hackathon?
CASSINI Hackathons & Mentoring are part of the CASSINI initiative of the European Commission, which seeks to promote entrepreneurship within the Space sector.
These hackathons bring together young professionals, students, researchers and entrepreneurs interested in software, data, design and business to create innovative solutions with Earth observation data, satellite positioning technologies and satellite communications.
The winners of each hackathon gain access to the program CASSINI Mentoring and in the Global Final, in addition to obtaining the specific prizes of each edition.
How do these hackathons work?
The 7th CASSINI Hackathon will take place from 13 to 15 September 2024, simultaneously in ten locations in Europe. Hundreds of participants will test their skills and work on three common challenges focused on the transition to a sustainable economic system and the protection of the environment.
The organization in our country will be in charge of KIM, Cambra de Comerç de Barcelona, Institut d’Estudis Espacials de Catalunya – IEEC i Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya – ICGC.
