Read the original announcement

Fundamental changes are on the horizon in the energy sector. The end of the service life of nuclear power plants calls for the development of diverse, regenerative and decentralized energy technologies, such as geothermal energy, wind and solar technology. Digital tools are being used in more and more areas in order to optimize and stabilize the interplay between energy supply, use and storage.
We are happy to announce that after the good experiences and results of the Hackdays since 2019, the next edition of the Energy Data Hackdays will take place in Brugg-Windisch with existing and new partners. Committed to tradition.
Hackathons bring together energy experts, analysts, data scientists, programmers, students and interested people from all disciplines to work together with team spirit and enthusiasm on solutions to concrete problems. Take part!
