PARTICIPATION & REGISTRATION

THE FIRST PHASE of the Prague INSPIRE Hackathon 2019 starts before the actual on-site hackathon. During the first phase, teams are formed and registered, and preparation of team projects for the on-site hacking is happening. You can create your own team with people you know or people you’ve worked with before. Or you can can explore the existing ideas and teams that have been already created and you can simply join them.

THE SECOND PHASE includes the on-site hacking, presentation of results and winning ceremony, 21-23 January 2019 at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. During the three days all projects will be finalised. All the teams will be invited to present their projects on the last day. For this reason, the teams should prepare presentations showing the results of their hackathon projects.

REGISTRATION – the registration process is twofold. First, you need to register your project including the title, abstract and other details. As soon as your project is registered, you can register all members of the team that will be working on the project. Or anyone interested in your project might sign up as the member of your team and contribute to the project execution.
