Posted on 

MAD is excited to announce that the 9th Science Hack Day Eindhoven is here and will happen ONLINE on 6th and 7th June 2020.

This will be the first-ever Science Hack Day in hybrid dimensions: from your home, you will meet online with your team for a dazzling sprint to come up with state-of-the-earth solutions and compete for prizes.

Online discussions arise about the scope and themes of this years’ edition. We anticipate a big part of the challenges to focus on big societal and existential themes:

  • Climate & Planet
  • Social Distancing
  • Circular Disruptions
  • Energy Science
  • AI and Digital Reality

To communicate your ideas, offer collaboration, early commitment and everything in between, send a mail to info@madlab.nl.
