Social Hackathon Umbria

After a year's break due to the pandemic, the Social Hackathon Umbria intends to celebrate its fifth anniversary with a big event of digital co-creation focused on the 17 UN goals for Sustainable Development and shared with Fertitecnica Colfiorito and FAO, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.

#SHU2021 foresees a four days of Hackathon, Workshops, Exhibitions and Laboratories, next 1-4 July 2021 in the splendid setting of the Colfiorito Natural Park, a protected natural area and example of numerous sustainable development practices of the Umbria Region.

At the same time as the training courses, we will launch a call for ideas on four thematic areas: #zerohunger, #zerowaste, #zeroimpact and #zeroignorance. For each area we will select the two most relevant ideas to be developed by teams of up to 8 members led by an experienced team manager. During the 48 hours of the Hackathon, the teams will be able to create a pitch, a prototype or a product to be presented in front of an international jury.
