Event Details
Goal
The Iliad 2024 hackathon will bring together interdisciplinary teams to develop cutting-edge digital tools to integrate diverse data sources and build ocean digital twins to promote sustainable ocean management.
Participants are free to choose their approach to achieve the hackathon goal in line with the following themes:
Ocean digital twins in action
Fusion of GenAI and digital twins
Interoperability between digital twins
Objectives
The hackathon aims to meet the following objectives and is designed to attract a diverse and interdisciplinary audience ranging from data scientists to subject matter experts:
Advance the digital twin landscape: transform pilot projects and concepts into functional ocean digital twins;
Repurpose and extend existing Iliad components, together with other libraries and technologies, to innovate in new ways.
Leverage federated data platforms, including the HUB Ocean Data Platform to streamline the data supply chain to service the twins;
Enhance technical capabilities in data exploration and manipulation, data science, modeling, and working toward long-term operation or commercialization of digital twin products and services.
Demonstrate interoperability with other ocean digital twin initiatives, such as EDITO-Infra, EDITO-ModelLab, BlueCloud, EmodNET, Destination Earth, Copernicus, and more.
Target audience
The hackathon is open to anyone who wants to build ocean digital twins. Multidisciplinary teams are encouraged as they often produce the most innovative results.
You can register as an individual and teams will be created with a minimum of 4 and a suggested maximum of 10.
Required skills
Whether you are an experienced programmer, a subject matter expert, a communication guru or a UI/UX designer, we welcome participants of all levels and backgrounds.
Format
The Iliad hackathon is a hybrid hackathon consisting of a longer online period and an on-site period ending with an awards ceremony.
