About this Event

Once a year, the GLAMhack brings together data providers, software developers, digital humanists, artists, Wikimedians/Wikipedians, and others in order to experiment how cultural data and content can be used for research purposes, for web and mobile apps, in the context of Wikipedia, for artistic re-mixes, or for other forms of re-use. This year, our hackathon will take place online.

There will be an onboarding session on 9 April (evening) and an opening event with presentations, workshops and a poetry slam performance on April 15th.
