All-female teams
In cooperation with She.Digital Wien and DigitalCity.Wien, we would like to additionally address young women to participate in this hackathon and form all-female teams with other researchers/students, to present their ideas and innovative solutions and thus to be a role model for younger female talents! The all-female winning team of the Hackathon 2022 will receive the opportunity to present their successful idea at the #DIDAYS22 event at Impact Hub Vienna as well as other events and digital communication channels of DigitalCity.Wien.
Challenges
The Hackathon is organised by the University of Vienna, together with the City of Vienna. Climate change imposes major challenges, especially for cities. The City of Vienna defines concrete goals and measures for the city’s climate package, this is where the Hackathon wants to pick up. Interdisciplinary teams will work on concepts for (participatory) digital solutions to current challenges faced by the City of Vienna on climate. Therefore on one hand challenges were framed that lead to a very specific outcome. On the other hand we present more open challenges, that raise issues, demanding creative solutions.
Background information can be found here:
The challenges concern the climate topics: climate-friendly neighborhoods, energy, circular economy and climate-appropriate behavior.
