We’re thrilled to welcome female students from Greece, Norway, and Sweden to Thessaloniki for a dynamic 3-day hackathon focused on innovation, sustainability, and inclusion. From September 3rd to 5th, participants will collaborate across borders to tackle real-world challenges, build creative solutions, and pitch their ideas to expert judges.
The agenda is packed with inspiring keynotes, hands-on workshops, and team-based prototyping sessions—all designed to empower young women in STEM to lead change in their communities and beyond.
