Green Waves Hackathon 2024
"Alarmed by a series of heatwaves and inspired by leading Delft University of Technology climate science professor Herman Russchenberg I initiated an international hackathon to promote sustainable innovation and community building. For more info about how the hackathon idea was born, see: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/maartenkuppers_how-the-green-waves-hackathon-idea-was-born-activity-7265859248390127617-EVIl?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAW9EwBVnTjOvcEmSNf6vldeSBj5aC-cAk. This hackathon, with main organizer TU Delft - Climate Action Programme, was a huge success, with over 160 participants from all over the world. The closing event on Friday, November 22nd, 2024, was a sustainability event in its own right. The Netherlands branch of Green Software Foundation supported the hackathon, as well as sponsors and co-organizers ilionx, Rabobank and Microsoft. In this new year 2025, quarterly meetups are organized and we are considering making the hackathon a recurring annual event."
