List of hackathons in Louvain La Neuve, Belgium in 2018

We invite you to "Workshop Hackathon #1".  The workshop introduces the first of a series of hackathons, each with a different dataset from the National Institute for Sickness and Invalidity Benefit (RIZIV/INAMI)). Attendees of the workshop can take part in the hackathon, which will take place in January 2019. The hackathons can identify the obstacles in the FAIR use of data, and help formulate, test and implement solutions to these obstacles. The initiators are convinced that invitees can use these hackathons to discover and use the potential of these data for their own objectives. This includes scientific research, but also a more effective development of medicines and medical devices, better patient care, improvement and support of clinical trials, support for personalized care, support for prevention, patient-oriented care, and lower medical costs. Invitees are primarily, but non-exhaustive: all service providers and knowledge institutes active in the field of health care (including drug development, development of medical devices, ...), health economics, information management, privacy and safety, legislation (colleges, ...) both public and private organizations, profit and non-profit (data science communities, open data communities, open knowledge communities, ...) organizations.

DESCRIPTION Since 2008, the SWAT4(HC)LS Workshop has provided a platform for the presentation and discussion of the benefits and limits of applying Web-based information systems and semantic technologies in the domains of health care and life sciences. Growing steadily each year as Semantic Web applications become more widespread, SWAT4LS has been in Edinburgh 2008, Amsterdam 2009, Berlin 2010, London (2011), Paris (2012), Aveiro (SWAT4LS School organized in 2012), Edinburgh (2013) and Berlin (2014). Since 2015 SWAT4LS changed format and has been organized as a 2 day conference in Cambridge (2015), Amsterdam (2016) and Rome (2017). SWAT4(HC)LS aims at providing an open and stimulating environment that brings together researchers, both developers and users, from areas as diverse as eHealth, medical and clinical informatics, bioinformatics, cheminformatics, drug discovery, drug safety, systems biology, medical physics, data science, and biocomputing, to discuss goals, current limits and real experiences in the application of Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies to challenges in health care and life sciences. The meetings are typically very interactive and are accompanied by tutorials and a hackathon. You can register for the Tutorials (December 3), Conference (December 4 & 5) and Hackathon (December 6), as well as a combined registration.

The hivhack is the data4good initiative driven by the data science community of Belgium supported by Johnson-Johnson Global Public Health. The HIV epidemic has claimed numerous lives since its discovery in the 80’s. Over the years, the efforts and coordinated work of national programs, the civil society and development partners have allowed to achieve tremendous progress. Even though there is still no cure for HIV, effective treatments have been developed and they can offer to patients long and healthy lives. However, treatments must be rigorously followed throughout life to successfully contain the virus. Failing to adhere to the treatment can lead to a mutation of the HIV into a form resistant to the available treatments. This is how HIV Drug Resistance can emerge.  Following the massive increase of people on treatment (from less than 800 000 in 2000 to more than 18 millions in 2016), a non-negligible rise in the prevalence of resistant HIV strains has emerged and threatens the global commitment to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. If no action is taken now, and this problem left unaddressed, HIV Drug Resistance could lead to a new crisis in the HIV epidemic. About the hackathon: more info hivhack.org Phase 1: Gather Data from now till Nov 24th. Obtain a comprehensive understanding of the situation by rallying active medicals, data scientists and commercials in the HIV fight and share their knowledge.  Phase 2 : Hackathon On November 23rd & 24th 2018, with the acquired information, dive into the heart of the question and devise solutions with your team. Phase 3 : Deliver solutions locally - 1 week February/March 2019 Winners of the hackathon will test and apply their solutions/method in the field with a local expert research team. The optimised solutions will be applied on the long term.  For those who will use the free passes for Azure we would like to point out that  'Yes, (the organizer) may share my contact details with Microsoft to contact me with information and news about Microsoft products, services and events.
