Ocean Hackathon 2020®: an ocean of data!

Twelve cities around the world are organising this year's Ocean Hackathon® simultaneously. In order to enrich the demonstrators and allow the teams to develop their challenges, many partners have been mobilised.

French data providers

As Ocean Hackathon® ambassadors and data providers, these organisations make their data and coaches available to support the teams throughout the weekend!

To help participants to find their way around, the Indigéo portal!

For 4 years now, the LETG has been providing participants with a dedicated Ocean Hackathon® instance in the Indigéo portal. They will thus be able to search for data, visualise it and access it!
