The event will bring together students and professors to develop innovative solutions using satellite data. During the two-day hackathon, participants will work in small groups to prepare a 5-minute presentation showing how satellite data can help achieve sustainable development goals. The event is organized by Arizona State University (ASU), a global partner within the EUTOPIA Alliance. The hackathon program is designed so that students from EUTOPIA Alliance partner universities can also participate virtually, despite the time difference.
