Hack the Change - International INGENIUM Online-Hackathon

As part of the INGENIUM Sustainability Week, INGENIUM warmly invites you to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) Hackathon on November 12 and 13. Over the course of two exciting days, you will work in international teams to develop innovative solutions for real sustainability challenges: from climate adaptation on campus and waste management to energy monitoring and student well-being.

Shaping the Future Together
The Hackathon brings together up to 100 students from all ten INGENIUM partner universities as well as partner institutions in developing countries. In interdisciplinary teams of five to six people, you will combine entrepreneurial thinking, teamwork, and sustainability awareness to develop concrete prototypes and concepts that can be implemented at European universities.

Think Outside the Box
Take this opportunity to explore new perspectives, build cross-cultural connections, and actively contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Hackathon gives you the chance to drive real change — while gaining valuable experience in innovation and sustainability.

Mentoring & International Feedback
During the Hackathon, you will receive:

  • Mentoring from sustainability experts
  • Short talks on relevant topics
  • Feedback from an international jury

The jury consists of sustainable development professionals from INGENIUM partner universities and associated organizations. Projects will be evaluated based on feasibility, creativity, and relevance to the SDGs, among other criteria. All participants will receive a digital certificate (badge).
