Hackathon "Urban Data - Mind the Gap"
How can neighborhoods in Berlin be further developed? What role does public transport play in this? Three professors of the Einstein Center Digital Future (ECDF) are hosting the Hackathon "Urban Data - Mind the Gap" from January, 16 -18, 2019 to find answers to these questions. They are cooperating with the state-owned housing associations “Stadt und Land”, “Gesobau” and “Howoge” as well as of the Berlin Transport Company (BVG). They provide the teams of the hackathon with anonymous data sets. The application deadline is December 31, 2018. More information: here

ECDF INDUSTRY FORUM – The last mile
The digital transformation affects all levels of society. This can only be shaped jointly by science, business and politics. One of the main issues in this context is “the last mile”. It concerns delivery services as well as public transport, network expansion or school classes. In the ECDF INDUSTRY FORUM on January 21st, 2019, we would like to elaborate new digital ways and possibilities to overcome the last mile. Please note that registration is required.
