To participate, citizens must present a climate challenge relevant to their community, city, or region. Researchers will join them to provide expertise and develop solutions together. The hackathons, co-organized by local hosts across Europe, will be held virtually over four days, utilizing a methodology designed to encourage networking, dynamization, and innovation processes.

EU Sparks for Climate: Citizen Hackathon Championship is a program supported by the European Commission and implemented by a consortium led by Barrabés.biz in collaboration with Energy Cities, the European Association of Development Agencies (EURADA), the European Citizen Science Association (ECSA), and the European Crowdfunding Network (EUROCROWD).
