The IoE Creathon

An IoE Creathon is a hackathon opened to all students, from any background, with all types of competences! It is an event that stimulates creativity and innovation, giving new tools and energy to the participants.

The participants will be working in multi-disciplinary teams and propose innovative use of technology to enhance public services. The event lasts 1,5 days. By the end of the competition, the teams will need to come up with a 10 minutes pitch explaining their ideas

Who can participate?

Technical and non-technical students1 are invited to this event.

You are an engineer student, a design student, a business student, a med student, any kind of student…, a project holder, or you’re just curious and have great ideas?

You are all welcome!

We believe innovation comes from the diversity of competences in a team and because technology is only the tool to innovative improvements of our society.

Why participate?

During the 2-days event, you will have the chance to be mentored and challenged by high-level experts and creativity facilitators. You will meet students with different backgrounds and passions. You will develop your soft skills, in particular your inventiveness and communication competences, and will enhance your technical and entrepreneurial skills through hands-on activities, ideation and prototyping.

You will be inspired and will have the opportunity to take your projects a step further: from ideas to reality!

The prizes

The winners will be awarded with a trip to the openBerlin IoE Innovation Center in Germany.

You will also have the chance to present your business idea during the eSkills for Jobs high-level Conference before an audience of Government representatives, non-profit and business leaders.

Evaluation criteria

A jury composed of multi-disciplinary experts will select the best ideas. They will judge the teams according to various criteria such as: the level of innovation of the project, the economic viability, the potential positive impact on society.

What’s the IoE?

The Internet of Everything is the networked connection of people, process, data, and things. It turns information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunity for business, individuals and social innovation.

To enable the participants to gain a good understanding of the IoE, Cisco is offering an online course introducing the concept. The students are free to go through the course at their own pace. Several live sessions will be held before the event to give examples and for Q&As. Once you have registered, you will receive your log-ins and all the detailed information to join the online platform and course.
