Registrations are officially open for the UPWELLING Ocean Hackathon® 2026 local events!
From 16 to 18 October 2026, participants will come together in four Atlantic cities to develop innovative solutions to real challenges facing the ocean and the blue economy:
- Cork, Ireland: https://www.campusmer.fr/hackathon-membres-local-edition-in-cork-ireland-5148-49-0-0.html
- Olhão, Portugal: https://www.campusmer.fr/hackathon-membres-local-edition-in-olhao-portugal-5148-48-0-0.html
- Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain: https://www.campusmer.fr/hackathon-membres-local-edition-in-santa-cruz-de-tenerife-spain-5148-50-0-0.html
- Brest, France: https://www.campusmer.fr/hackathon-membres-local-edition-in-brest-france-5148-1-0-0.html
Students, researchers, developers, designers, entrepreneurs, professionals and ocean enthusiasts are invited to explore the challenges proposed by each city and register for the local event that best matches their interests and expertise.
Working in multidisciplinary teams and supported by coaches and experts, participants will have 48 hours to transform their knowledge and ideas into practical, technology-driven solutions. At the end of each local event, the teams will present their projects to a jury, which will select the winning solution from each city.
The four winning teams will then meet again at the international final in Brest in December 2026, where they will present their solutions and compete alongside the winners from the other Ocean Hackathon® cities.
Participation is free, but prior registration is required.
