 About the Hackathon   The sector of mobility is facing a major challenge as a result of the growth of population in the cities and the rising demand for a cleaner, greener world.  Besides that, new technologies such as the Internet and on-board computers (whether it is a mobile phone in a pocket or a computer integrated into a vehicle), allow us to be more connected than ever before, thereby creating a range of technological and digital possibilities that will be key for understanding the future of mobility.   The hackathon focuses on these aspects: how will we move, our experience while doing it, and the services derived from our movements.  From CARNET we want to promote new ideas for the future of mobility, offering the attendees the chance to participate in it. This creative event includes tutorials on key technologies. A wide range of devices will be available for use and key data will be provided to validate the solutions that are developed. THREE CHALLENGES HackForGood. Social Mobility: waking up the machines by Cátedras Telefónica This Challenge focuses on how to make Mobility more socially sustainable using information and communication technologies.  AI For Mobility & Driving Experience  By SEAT   This Challenge focuses on how to improve Mobility and Driving Experience using a Cozmo Robot and its Artificial Intelligence Visualizing Mobility By Metropolis:Lab This challenge focuses on how can we see and identify the patterns of mobility inside the city, creating or improving services derived from it.    For more info, check www.carnetbarcelona.com/hackathon2018    /carnet.barcelona                @carnetBCN

The goal of this hackathon is to accelerate the execution of simulation applications coded by developers with no experience in parallel programming. Our goal is to help you in doing more science and less coding using OpenMP and OpenACC technologies. Your outcome of the hackathon will be either an OpenMP/OpenACC-enabled application or a clear roadmap of how to get there. Participation in the training event is free of charge.

Peacetech 101 is a practical introduction to innovation and technology for peacebuilders. The first of its kind, this 5-day training course covers innovation processes and technology tools that can be successfully used to build peace and prevent conflict. This emerging body of practice is often referred to as ‘peacetech’. Participants will emerge with a strong understanding of best practices in peacetech that will allow them to design and manage programs that introduce technology tools and innovation processes to their peacebuilding work. Learning Objective 1Through a series of case studies, introduce participants to the functions that technology tools can play in peacebuilding initiatives, concretely: Data management (mobile data collection, digital maps, big data, drones, etc) Strategic communications (social media, virtual reality, radio-to-mobile, etc) Networking & mobilisation (videogames, gamified apps, sms networks, etc). Key outcomes: Participants gain awareness of the current practice and possibilities of peacetech globally Participants are able to reference peacetech practice for their own innovative design purposes Participants are able to identify the operational and ethical issues associated with a peacetech concept or idea Learning Objective 2Through practical exercises, explore approaches to successfully designing tech innovation in peacebuilding, concretely: User-centered, participatory design: from prototype to pilot to full roll-out Context analysis for peacetech: information ecosystems, technology assessments, stakeholder mapping, conflict sensitivity and ethics Monitoring and evaluation for peacetech Key outcomes: Participants understand what contextual data and analysis are needed to successfully design a peacetech intervention Participants are able to undertake user-centered, participatory design process for a peacetech intervention Participants have the tools to set up a successful M&E plan for peacetech Learning Objective 3Through practical exercises, explore approaches to successfully implementing tech innovation in peacebuilding, concretely: Your role as a product manager Working with developers: hackathons, innovation labs and partnerships Organisational learning and sustaining innovation Key outcomes: Participants gain awareness of the role of ‘product manager’ in a peacebuilding context, needed to drive tech innovation through their organisations Participants understand different ways of working with the technology sector from briefings to partnerships Participants gain awareness of some the processes they can implement at the organisational level to enable and sustain innovative peacebuilding practices The course fees include lunches, coffee breaks and a final participants’ dinner. Course fees do not include other meals and participants are also responsible for their accommodation and travel arrangements.
