What is a hackathon?

It’s a time-bound event, where individuals or teams collaborate intensively to solve a specific problem or develop an innovative concept, often a software prototype or application.

Objective of the NB-DAS hackathon

The aim of the Hackathon is to improve cooperation, coordination and knowledge among the attendees, responding to the water resources challenges in the Nile Basin, particularly in relation to climate change, hazards, hydrology and land use, groundwater and geology, agriculture, infrastructures and socioeconomics, environment, and water quality.

Participants will have access to qualified resources: datasets, analytics and open-source tools, collaborative spaces, and the support of thematic experts.

The event favours a collaborative and practical approach to the co-construction of concrete, high-impact and replicable use cases by using the NB-DAS platform.
