The 5th nextGEMS hackathon will be hosted by the Wageningen University in Wageningen, the Netherlands, from Mon, 14 Oct, to Fri, 18 Oct 2024. This hackathon is organized by the Storms & Land theme and addresses natural hazards, in particular forest fires.
(From the Grant Agreement: The challenge of the hackathon will be to convert the output of SR-ESMs into detailed and meaningful maps that provide stakeholders outside of the science community means of communicating risks of natural hazards. The initial focus will be on fire, heat, and extreme precipitation, but further hazards will be added based on the interests of participants of the hackathon.)
The event will be preceded by a virtual data handling seminar to get everyone on the same page and equip you with tools to hack your way through the following in-person meeting.
For this event we charge a participation fee of EUR ????, which will cover coffee breaks and one event dinner.
