<nettime-ann> Living Data City Challenge Hackathon


.
Hackathon and Congress on Smart City / Open Data

The fifth yearly congress on Open Data in Eindhoven, April 16, is called Beyond Data. 

Aiming at real solutions for real problems, a parallel City Challenge project is set up:

	Living Data City Challenge

Open Data can help solve problems and provide new opportunities to make cities more livable, more healthy, share better mobility, improve air quality, biodiversity and be more sustainable. The Living Data City Challenge wants to inspire and help creative forces to invent, develop, build new solutions to everyday problems.

Starting from well presented but open Challenges, including relevant and specific open data, - information and - knowledge, the Hackathon, 11 and 12 April in Gaslab, is the competing arena for multidisciplinary teams.

Best 3 winners of the Hackathon are offered the floor at the Open Data Congress âBeyond Dataâ April 16.

These pitches may be aimed at investors, clients, partners present at the congress. 
The ambition is to find serious support for the Beta Track phase, where the solution/project is developed to maturity.

	Hackathon

The Living Data Hackathon is a two day festive event â around real challenges â found in the urban environment.

This hackathon is based on the notion that Open Data technology can help find new solutions for problems and opportunities in cities. Smart Cities can only emerge when Citizens are Smart, and are able to use clever tools, systems and networks.
