#EUvsVirus Hackathon

Many online hackathons have been organised across Europe since the beginning of March. There have been hackathons in Estonia, Finland, Poland, Italy, Belgium and similar events are also planned in the coming weeks.

euvsvirus.org is an online European-wide hackathon organized by the most plugged in and nationally connected digital ecosystem actors from all over Europe. It builds upon already conducted national hackathons and the solutions worked on.

It is a call to action to each and everyone to participate in the fight against COVID-19: demonstrate unity for the common good across borders and generations. Let’s digitally open EU-borders in the times of pandemic crisis!
