SWITCH and FORS organise an Open Research Data (ORD) Hackathon to strengthen collaboration and build a community around ORD. Students, academics, developers and service providers from Switzerland and beyond are invited to share their ideas and pave the way for innovative projects and applications.
-
Submission of Ideas (now closed): The community submitted a total of 13 ideas to hack on. Please feel free to have a look at them here prior to the hackathon.
-
Idea Presentation: Each idea will be presented during the kick-off event on 18th January 2021.
-
Choose idea to hack on: Once the ideas are presented, each participant should decide on the idea to hack on. This is organised through a poll on Slack during the kick-off event.
-
Team Building: The polling will result in self-organised teams for each idea. Here, each team should decide upon a team leader who should make sure that all necessary skills are present in a given team.
-
Hacking: The actual hacking starts once the teams are formed and continues throughout each day of the hackathon.
-
Presentations: Each team will then be asked to present their hacking results to the community on day 3.
-
Voting: After each team presented, we will organise a little voting via the a polling feature on Slack.
-
Prizes: Based on the voting, SWITCH and FORS will offer some prizes for the winning teams.
-
Communicate: Please feel free to spread the word and share the results during or after the hackathon.
