ALBA Hackathon

The UAB Research Park and ALBA Synchrotron are joining efforts to organize a science and technology hackathon with the goal of promoting innovation in strategic sectors such as water, plastics, and energy. The event will bring together researchers, students, and professionals to solve real challenges planned by the businesses, using advanced synchrotron light techniques in an excellent research environment.

A hackathon is a collaborative innovation contest, where participants develop creative and viable solutions to challenges defined by businesses in the sectors involved. The format allows the combination of emerging talent, scientific knowledge, and high-level technological application.

The added value of this hackathon is that the winning solutions can be implemented free of charge at the ALBA Synchrotron facilities, provided they pass the corresponding technical feasibility studies.
