ActInSpace Germany || An international innovation contest lead by CNES and ESA

ACTINSPACE IN Germany
- Darmstadt -
hybrid event

ActInSpace 2022 in Germany will be in Darmstadt

It's time for ActInSpace®! For the fourth time, we will be bringing the international innovation contest to Darmstadt. Our local edition of the hackathon will take place on 18./19. November in a hybrid format – within 24 hours, you will team up and design innovative solutions to real-life problems based on space technology and data.

Our expert mentors from a broad variety of sectors will be providing support in the areas of Tech, Business, and Finacne to ensure that you can develop your ideas in this short time-frame and are ready to pitch your solutions in front of our jury panel at the end of the event. Needless to say that there will of course be great prizes to win!

Due to its hybrid format, you will be able to choose whether you'd like to take part in the hackathon remotely or join us in person at our event space in Darmstadt, which is generously being provided to us free of charge by the TIZ Darmstadt GmbH. Our event agenda is available here.

We are already looking forward to the many brilliant ways you will come up with to make use of space technology and space data at the AIS 2022 in Darmstadt!


**************************************************************

You can now take a peak at some of the available challenges: https://actinspace.org/challenges
[unfortunately, there seems to be a technical issue with linking to the same site, until we have worked out how to circumvent it, please copy and paste the link instead of clicking on it, otherwise you'll be stuck on a "loading" page]

You will have to choose one of these challenges to work on together with your team during the hackathon. Don't worry, you don't need to decide right away, but taking a look now might inspire some ideas you want to work on during the hackathon. We are also planning on organizing a virtual pre-hackathon event the week before the hackathon where participants that do not have a team yet can connect with each other and find their teammates for the hackathon - more information about this will be sent out via email to all registered participants soon.

If you cannot find a challenge that you want to work on you may also bring your own "space challenge" to the hackathon - however, please note that you will then only be eligible for our national, not the international prizes.
