The Hackathon will begin on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 at 4 pm., with the specific topics being announced on that day. It will conclude on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at around 2 pm, with a farewell lunch for all hack-participants. Students and researchers from the NeurotechEU alliance are invited to bring their own perspectives to the Neurospark. The different and transversal teams will have 24 hours to work on a challenge related to Brain-Machine Interfaces. 

But, don’t be afraid! The beauty of a hackathon is the different perspectives of each participant. Students (bachelor, master, PhD) of any disciplinary background ready to work in an inter- or transdisciplinary environment are welcome.

  • PhD candidates

All target groups must be either NeurotechEU students or people employed at the University of Bonn. Candidates from other programs of study or institutions are not eligible.
