Our final hackathon meeting will take place in Heidelberg from Friday, June 14th until Sunday, June 15th!! Looking forward welcoming you in Heidelberg to finalize the projects.

Concept

We will publish a list of projects early May (projects are online!!). Teams of ~4 students from one university will form and select none pf the projects to work on. Several teams for different universities will therefore work in parallel on the same projects!

During the Hackathon, the teams which have worked on the same project will work together to discuss and compare their results, and run their model on a new testing data. In addition, the teams will prepare a poster (made of 8 A4 sheets) which will be presented during the poster session on Sunday morning.

Schedule

!! preliminary schedule !!

We will have a guest lecture by Prof. Dr. Rebecca Wade from HITS Heidelberg on Friday night.
