ORD For The Sciences Hackathon

Explore the potential and impact of Open Research Data on the sciences!

Co-organized by the Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) and EPFL Open Science and hosted on EPFL’s dynamic campus, this event brings together professionals from academia, industry, and the public sector to unlock the power of open research datasets and infrastructures.

By embracing open principles, fostering collaboration and driving change, we aim to create a vibrant ecosystem that accelerates innovation and benefits society. The ORD for the Sciences Hackathon is a unique opportunity to join forces with research communities in this shared mission. Together, we’ll harness ORD to shape the future of open research.

Why Participate? 

Participants will have the chance to engage with a vibrant scientific community by sharing and enhancing their datasets. This is an opportunity to:

  • Optimize and expand your datasets for more efficient use.
  • Build models and analyses that reveal new insigtts in existing datasets.
  • Improve the understanding and utilization of datasets.

Goals

  • DEVELOP simple Proof of Concept (PoC) projects using open datasets.
  • APPLY solutions to real-world challenges from academia, industry, and the public sector.
  • SHARE code, knowledge, best practices, and ideas for use cases.
  • CONNECT with data science and ORD professionals.

What to Expect

  • Two days of intense hands-on development, exploring the potential of open research data and infrastructure within a collaborative team.
  • A dynamic atmosphere in first-class facilities, where you can network, explore synergies, and engage in insightful discussions.
  • Leverage cutting-edge datasets and tools to carry out projects following FAIR principles. 
  • The opportunity to work with the latest models and technologies, driving real innovation. 

SDSC’s Renku platform will be presented and made available to enable participants to collaborate seamlessly and use GPU resources. Renku is an open-source knowledge infrastructure in the making, designed for collaborative and reproducible data science; use it during the hackathon to collaborate with your team and become part of the community to help grow and improve it! 

The Opportunity Ahead

The ORD Hackathon will enable participants to capitalize on the resources available with a new mindset. Through concrete use cases, you will experience firsthand how ORD can impact and benefit the sciences.
