Participate in the EUspace4Ukraine hackathon and support people
fleeing from war
 

To provide or enhance humanitarian help to people fleeing Ukraine, the
European Union Agency for the Space Programme
[https://www.euspa.europa.eu/]'s (EUSPA) is organising the
#EUSpace4Ukraine Hackathon
[https://www.euspa.europa.eu/EUSpace4Ukraine/hackathon]. 

The hackathon, which will take place from 29 June to 1 July 2022, aims
at developing different kinds of humanitarian support solutions: from
replacing broken landlines on the Ukrainian territory, to fostering
coordination across private and public helper organisations and
creating platforms for the integration of refugees in host countries. 

These solutions should leverage data and services from the EU Space
Programme
[https://ec.europa.eu/defence-industry-space/eu-space-policy/eu-space-programme_en],
such as the freely accessible data from the global satellite
navigation and positioning system Galileo
[https://www.euspa.europa.eu/european-space/galileo/What-Galileo] or
the European Earth Observation system Copernicus
[https://www.euspa.europa.eu/european-space/copernicus/what-copernicus].
EUSPA market development professionals will be supporting participants
in the hackathon with accessing and using this data. Participation is
open to any NGO, academic institute, application developer, and young
entrepreneur from the EU-27 Member States, including Switzerland,
Norway and Iceland.

This hackathon will complement the EUSpace4Ukraine platform
[https://www.euspa.europa.eu/EUSpace4Ukraine], which currently helps
to gather technological solutions supporting provision of humanitarian
aid to the Ukrainian people. In fact, the platform matches solution
owners with NGOs and other helpers by allowing innovators, start-ups,
and application developers to list their apps on the platform, and
NGOs to reach out to developers.
