What's the datathon?

The datathon is a weekend-long competition where you are challenged to solve real-world challenges using techniques in machine learning, AI, and data science. We'll present three challenges, and you'll have to choose one. Typically, you'll be asked to find solutions to specific problems using some datasets. Apart from this, there will be non-mandatory workshops and activities to get relaxed and meet new people!

Where?

Our event will take place in UPC's School of Mathematics and Statistics, located in C/ Pau Gargallo 14, Barcelona. You can find a map here!

You will have access to classrooms to work with your own laptop. We will provide you Wi-Fi and food.

When?

The event will start on Saturday November 11 at 9h when we will present the challenges.

You'll be able to work for 32 hours. The event will end on Sunday 12 at 17h, with a closing ceremony where we'll announce the winners.

Who?

All students are allowed to attend! Some data analysis or coding skills might be useful, but not required to participate. In fact, there will be a special prize for rookies!

We will provide you with meals, Wi-Fi and some nice swag. And of course, it's completely free!
