Hackathon
Ideation meets Innovation in Green Chemistry
Ready to explore what innovation really means? To work on something that could actually make a difference—for the environment, for industry, or even for your own future? This hackathon is your chance to dive in.
You don’t need a startup idea or a perfect solution—just curiosity, a willingness to collaborate, and an interest in green chemistry and materials innovation. Whether you're into sustainability, science, design, coding, or strategy—there’s a space for you here.
What to expect
This isn’t your typical hackathon. You won’t be building lab experiments or writing lines of code until 3am. Instead, you’ll be working in small, interdisciplinary teams to develop bold ideas and theoretical models that address real sustainability challenges in chemistry and materials.
You’ll:
🔍 Explore an open-ended challenge (topic TBA)
🧠 Brainstorm and shape ideas with other students and researchers
🛠 Use digital tools and creative methods to prototype and model your concepts
🧭 Get guidance from mentors with real-world experience
🎤 Pitch your concept at the end of the week
Why you should join
You want to try out innovation and see what it feels like
You want to meet people from different backgrounds who care about impact
You want to gain new skills—from systems thinking to storytelling
You want to do something that matters, even if you’re not sure where to start
You’re curious about sustainability, green tech, or entrepreneurship—but haven’t had a chance to explore it yet
Who’s it for
Bachelor’s and Master’s students from any discipline (chemistry, engineering, design, business, art, tech—you name it)
Early-stage researchers with an open mind and a collaborative spirit
No startup idea required. No specific background needed. Just your energy, your brain, and your interest in building something meaningful.
