What is a hack event?

A hack event, or hackathon, is a fast-paced event in which professionals and amateurs from diverse fields collaborate on a given project. By combining their interests and skills, teams create a product which effectively meets a brief. A winning team is chosen at the end of the event.

What are infographics?

Information graphics, or infographics, are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly. They can be a way of explaining complex ideas in a simple, visual manner. This is especially important for scientific communications, allowing public and policy makers to engage more easily with research.
