Hack the Arctic was a 48-hr online hackathon open to anyone interested in using Arctic environmental data to develop a service or project. Over 300 people registered for the event and eventually submitted 27 projects responding to 5 different challenges:

  • Map the Arctic data
  • Science for policy-making
  • Services for citizens
  • Focus on Svalbard
  • Arctic Haze

ACTRIS was one of 5 ENVRI community research infrastructures that participated in the event by providing mentorship to the participants during the hackathon and access to key datasets.

ACTRIS sends special thanks to Tuija Jokinen, Yong Li, Cathrine Lund-Myhre, and Giulia Saponaro for the support during the event organization.
