Save the Date! DataXplorers Hackathon starts in October

01_Banner_Color

Chat bots that answer questions on research data management topics, or historical peatland data that can be digitised and visualised in map tools for the first time – what exciting things can emerge when curious minds from the earth system sciences, biodiversity and microbiology research come together to work on and with data?

Wir wollen es gemeinsam mit euch und Ihnen herausfinden: auf unserem NFDI-Cross-Community-Hackathon "DataXplorers" (Start: 23. Oktober), der es Nachwuchs- und erfahrenen Forschenden ermöglicht, sich in größeren oder kleineren Gruppen zusammenzutun und (begleitet von Profis) ihrer Kreativität freien Lauf zu lassen.

Das Organisationsteam hat dafür verschiedene Challenges zu unterschiedlichen Themen vorbereitet, denen Teilnehmende sich je nach Interesse zuordnen können. Für die Bearbeitung der Aufgaben ist dabei mehrere Wochen Zeit, bis am 5. und 6. Dezember in Frankfurt die Ergebnisse präsentiert werden. Die Daten stammen aus den Disziplinen der drei Konsortien, die sich für die Organisation des Hackathons zusammengetan haben: NFDI4Biodiversity, NFDI4Earth und NFDI4Microbiota.

More information about the event can be found on the event page, which is updated continuously: https://nfdi4biodiversity.org/de/events/dataxplorers-hackathon/
