Registration for the MERGE Hackathon 2026

The hackathon event will take the form of a compact, facilitated in-person workshop. The focus will be on interdisciplinary teamwork, expert mentoring and direct dialogue with the challenge owners. Unlike traditional hackathons, the emphasis is not on competitive formats or prototype development, but on developing viable collaboration and innovation concepts with clear prospects for implementation.
