The mobility service we’re aiming to build requires you to look at it from 3 different perspectives - technical, commercial, behavioural. All we’ll provide you with is a customer problem and the data to solve this accordingly. The challenge will involve building an app focusing on a mobility service in London, making it user-friendly and understanding how the money comes in. It’s about you shaping the proposition, rather than us telling you what to do! You'll get the opportunity to help solve real customer mobility problems, with an awesome app that is innovative, practical and commercially viable.

Sign up to participate in the oneTRANSPORT Hackathon -- and help explore and create IoT solutions for transport that can be used by the wider community and benefit local authorities. The event allows for developers to draw data from the platform, as well as contribute back to the platform, enriching the existing services that are available through the platform. You'll have access to previously unavailable datasets including real time transport data from Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire from IoT enabled sensors deployed for the hackathon event.

Are you interested in open research? Do you revel in exploring innovative approaches to communicating results and sharing outputs? Come and participate in the Open Research for Academics hackathon sponsored by the British Academy! Collaborate, or work on your own, to take concrete steps to make your own research more open. Maybe you can share a dataset, set up a research blog or project website, plan an engagement project, pitch a news article, or create a video biography or podcast.

Open research is much more than open access. It is about making all aspects of the research process open to all possible interested parties. Attendees have 4 hours to take concrete steps to make their own research more open. Ideas include sharing a dataset, setting up a research blog or project website, planning an engagement project, pitching a news article, or creating a video biography or a podcast.
