Open Energy Data Hackdays

Coming up on April 8 & 9, 2016, the next Make.Opendata.ch hackdays will take place in two fantastic mountain destinations in Switzerland: Innertkirchen and Mont-Crosin. To make open energy data, we are going up to the sources of sustainable energy.

At the Open Energy Data Hackdays developers and designers, big data experts and mobile app specialists, experts and amateurs, startup entrepreneurs and company managers, concerned citizens and data journalists - all may come together as individuals to address energy problems and create critical insights with open data.

The Hackdays are a joint initiative of Opendata.ch and IDS Datenwelten. Energie Schweiz is a supporting partner of the event.

Venue & Registration

Innterkirchen: Grimseltor, Grimselstrasse 2, 3862 Innertkirchen

Mont-Crosin: Auberge Vert-Bois, 2610 Mont-Crosin

Tickets are available on Eventbrite - places are limited so please book your rooms as soon as possible to make sure you can join in!

How to get involved

Ask yourself some fundamental questions:

How can we use data to …

* make electric mobility simpler, better, and more frictionless?

* better heat, cool and manage our homes and workplaces?

* communicate and understand our energy system, from the production to the distribution and to our very own consumption?

* use energy in continually innovative and smarter ways?

Come and experience the Hackdays!

Join us in April for two days of fun, ambitious projects and innovative talks. It is great if you are a programmer or working in media or involved in politics, and you are ready to help with your skills, and we are also looking for non-technical people across all domains who are interested in the broader topic of energy and energy data.

Share your suggestions for data

Are you aware of interesting data and topics for the Energy Hackdays? In preparation for the hackdays we are putting together a list of open energy datasets. We encourage you to contribute to it or send us your suggestions.
