Tri-City Hackathon<br \/>\n<strong>What if your next weekend project could change how European cities operate?<\/strong><br \/>\nOn<strong> November 19\u201320, 2026<\/strong>, the Unite! Alliance is bringing together students, researchers, and creators from across Europe for a 48-hour hybrid innovation sprint: the <strong>Tri-City Hackathon on Biotechnology &amp; Health Innovation.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhether you\u2019re studying biotech, computer science, architecture, business, or social sciences, this is your chance to step outside lecture halls, collaborate across borders, and tackle the real environmental and health challenges facing modern urban spaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why This Isn&#8217;t Just Another Hackathon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hackathons aren&#8217;t just for coders. Building a healthier, more liveable city requires a mix of bioengineering, smart design, sustainable business, and social awareness. Here is what you\u2019ll get out of the experience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An International Experience: Work in cross-disciplinary teams alongside peers from ULisboa (Lisbon), UPC (Barcelona), WroclawTech (Wroc\u0142aw), and online participants across Europe.<\/li>\n<li>Real City Challenges: Forget theoretical homework. You will solve problem statements framed directly by city leaders, regional agencies, and industry leaders who are looking for ideas to implement.<\/li>\n<li>A Massive CV Boost: Pitch your ideas directly to top European startup incubators (Lispolis, Can Calder\u00f3n, ARAW) and academic mentors. It\u2019s an ideal platform to kickstart a project, expand your network, or find future collaborators.<\/li>\n<li>Practical, High-Demand Skills: Learn how to rapidly prototype ideas, work under pressure in multi-disciplinary teams, and pitch compelling solutions to a panel of judges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What Challenges Will You Tackle?<\/strong><br \/>\nCities across Europe are confronting extreme heat waves, urban pollution, and public health pressures. You&#8217;ll brainstorm, design, and prototype practical solutions around four key themes:<br \/>\n<strong>1. Biosensors &amp; Diagnostics:<\/strong> Early detection and monitoring of urban environmental hazards.<br \/>\n<strong>2. Circular Systems &amp; Biotech:<\/strong> Converting domestic waste and energy streams into net-zero or carbon-capturing systems.<br \/>\n<strong>3. Biomaterials &amp; Climate Adaptation:<\/strong> Designing resilient public spaces that withstand extreme weather.<br \/>\n<strong>4. Digital Health &amp; Smart Mobility:<\/strong> Reimagining urban transport and supply chains to improve quality of life.<br \/>\nDo you have your own idea? Bring it! Do you prefer to jump in and help solve a city&#8217;s specific problem? You can do that too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choose How You Join (In-Person or Virtual)<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can experience the energy on-site at one of three university hubs, or join remotely from anywhere in the world:<br \/>\n<strong>Lisbon Hub:<\/strong> TTC@ULisboa (Lisbon)<br \/>\n<strong>Barcelona Hub:<\/strong> Can Calder\u00f3n (Viladecans, Barcelona)<br \/>\n<strong>Wroc\u0142aw Hub:<\/strong> WroclawTech, Building L-3 (Wroc\u0142aw)<br \/>\n<strong>Online Hub<\/strong>: Interactive virtual workspace for remote participants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Essential Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Event Dates: November 19\u201320, 2026 (Starts Nov 19 @ 09:30 CEST)<\/li>\n<li>Application Deadline: Friday, November 6, 2026<\/li>\n<li>Who Can Join: Open to all undergraduate, master\u2019s, and PhD students from any field of study. No prior hackathon experience required!<\/li>\n<li>Capacity Warning: Seats are strictly limited to 30 participants per physical hub and 30 participants online on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ready to Build Tomorrow&#8217;s Cities?<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t let your ideas stay on paper.
