List of hackathons about ai in 2020

Developers, makers, designers or just plain techies! If you want to improve the world, Microsoft Innovation Center invites you to participate in the next edition of Hack in the Woods. At this eco-responsible event at Domaine De Graux in the Tournai region of Belgium, you'll pitch your tent right in the heart of nature. Then as a member of a team, you'll have four days to design and prototype an innovative solution to a challenge posed by a partner humanitarian organisation such as Handicap International, or Good Planet.

El proper dissabte 20 de juny l’Ajuntament de Barcelona, en col·laboració amb Iniciativa Barcelona Open Data, organitza laI Hackató online de comerçamb l’objectiu d’aportar solucions innovadores al comerç de proximitat davant la situació de debilitat derivada de la COVID-19. La jornada se celebrarà online de 9.30h a 17.30h. La trobada convoca apersones desenvolupadores d’aplicatius informàtics, del sector de l’enginyeria i del disseny gràfic i especialistes del món del comerç. Cada equip haurà d’idear un aplicatiu, solució web o app mòbil, basat en dades obertes amb l’objectiu d’enfortir el comerç local de la ciutat. La proposta guanyadora seleccionada pel jurat obtindrà un premi en metàl·lic per desenvolupar l’aplicatiu.

We are currently facing a pandemic. But as long as we work together we can face any challenge 🚀. It's amazing to see how the world can come together so quickly in times of crisis. We believe that we can achieve a similar reaction 💪 to an equally dangerous, although even less visible, crisis: climate change.. That's why on the 12th of June 2020 we, FruitPunch AI, will organise AI to Save the Planet (ASAP) Online, an online event, so we can join arms despite these difficult times. In the fight against climate change, resources are scarce. We believe artificial intelligence to be the best force-multiplier. We also believe in self-sustaining projects. ASAP Online is a competition 🏆 for the best sustainable business case that tackles climate change with AI. We like to call it the Heroes track: we will guide you through the process during the competition. We will match you with other bright minds to form a team, we’ll have guided online brainstorming sessions and experts available on call! At the end everyone will pitch and our expert jury will decide on the winner. We’ve given the competition an exciting twist with our new ‘Cards Against Climate Change’. Pick a card, make your match and create the best solution! Curious to learn more about how this works? Go to www.fruitpunch.ai/asap to find out! The event is freely accessible to everyone, worldwide 🌍!

We will be building deep tech solutions around AI, machine learning and mobile apps for biodiversity data collection and analysis.

Finding a treatment for COVID-19 will be a long-term and difficult process, and research into new vaccines can take several years. Researchers have suggested that a century old vaccine BCG can cause a boost of the immune system and possibly, this could be the reason for the relatively low COVID-19-attributed death rates in some countries. However, these findings come from ecological study designs, which are fraught with potential sources of bias; thus, further evidence is needed from alternative study designs that can account for these sources of potential bias, such as randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort studies. A number of clinical trials with BCG have started already, but the results will not be available for many months. The studies of the BCG vaccine relationship to COVID-19 have used data from the BCG World Atlas project, started nearly a decade ago. The Atlas is neither perfect nor complete, but it is the only available database of this kind. We are organising a hackathon with two main tasks. The first one is to try to augment the BCG Atlas data with the help of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Text Mining (Question Answering, Machine Reading). The second task is to try to find new insights for BCG - COVID-19 clinical trials.

On June 5 and 6, 2020, the Waterkant Festival and Kiel.AI bring the tech and coder scene together for a unique online hackathon event. With the focus on data science and AI, participants will develop their own projects on real data, which is usually not publicly available. First datasets provided during the Hackathon and possible Challenges can be reviewed here: Challenges Datasets We will extend the datasets and challenges continously until the start of the hackathon. The event takes place online and communication is handled via livestreams and online collaboration tools like Mattermost and Zoom. After the initial welcome, the event starts with a keynote by Timo Möller from deepset, who will give an introduction on the enourmous progress in the area of NLP in the past year and on deepset's new open source framework for NLP. Also, Timo will be one of our expert mentors throughout the hackathon. Throughout the hackathon, we will also have other experts, who will support you with your projects if you need assistance with specific questions.

On May 30-31, NASA, along with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), is inviting coders, entrepreneurs, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, artists, and technologists to participate in a virtual hackathon. During a period of 48 hours, participants from around the world will create virtual teams and use Earth observation data to develop solutions to issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Challenges will range from studying the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and its spread to the impact the disease is having on the Earth system. The challenges will focus on the following thematic areas: Learning about the virus and its spread using space-based data Local response/change and solutions Impacts of COVID-19 on the Earth system/Earth system response Economic opportunity, impact, and recovery during and following COVID-19
