Eurostat is organising the fourth round of the European Big Data Hackathon from 2 to 7 March 2023 (including the presentation by the winners at the NTTS), as an in-person meeting in Brussels. The purpose of the 2023 hackathon is to foster expertise in using Big Data sources relating to financial transactions for producing innovative ideas for products and tools relevant for the EU policies.
The European Big Data Hackathon is organised by the European Commission (Eurostat) and gathers teams from all over Europe to compete for the best solution to a statistical challenge. The teams develop innovative approaches, applications and data products combining official statistics and big data that can help to answer pressing EU policy and/or statistical questions.
