Open Energy Data Hackdays

The Open Energy Data Hackdays are coming up on April 8 & 9, 2016. The make.opendata.ch Hackday will parallely take place in Innertkirchen and on the top of Mont-Crosin: We’ll go to where the energy comes from.

The Open Energy Data Hackdays are where developers and designers, big data experts and mobile app specialists, experts and amateurs, startup entrepren- eurs and corporate managers, citizen and data journalists come together alike to solve problems and create new insights with open data. The Hackdays are a joint initiative of the IDS Datenwelten at the University of Applied Sciences in Lucerne and Opendata.ch. Energie Schweiz supports the event as partner.

Inspirational questions for the Energy Hackdays

Making data used and useful for a wider community is key to gain shared understanding and new productive apps, visualizations and services tackling questions such as:

* How can we use data to make electric mobility simpler, better, and more frictionless?

* How can we use data to better heat, cool and manage our homes and workplaces?

* How can we use data to better communicate and understand our energy system, from the production to the distribution and to our very own consumption?

* How can data help to use energy in new and smarter ways?
