Information technology (IT) professionals and designers from the EU and its Eastern partner countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine) are invited to submit applications to participate in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) Civil Society Hackathon.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year the event will be held online for the first time in its 4 year history.
The event will be held in July and will bring together civil society activists, IT professionals, designers, guest speakers and civic tech mentors, who will work in hack teams consisting of three experts: one subject matter expert from a civil society organisation (CSO), one IT professional (front-end/back-end developers, web/mobile, full-stack, etc.) and a graphic designer.
The IT professionals and designers in the hack teams will be formally engaged by the EU project and will receive remuneration for their work on the prototypes.
Eligibility criteria and how to apply can be found here.
The application deadline is 23.00 (CET) on June 29, 2020.
For the first time, due to the change in format, the organisers are also accepting applications from IT professionals and designers from EU Member States.
The 2020 EaP Civil Society Hackathon is being organised by the EU’s Eastern Partnership Civil Society Facility.
