Description
In a world where open science and HPC projects are becoming increasingly intertwined and are driving the need for new and more demanding infrastructure, we are obligated to go about this in a sustainable way and ensure that the supercomputing centres and data repositories will be used to build a greener future.
For the past two years, Arnes HackathON has been joining the values of open science and HPC infrastructure to give students the chance to co-create their own sustainable future by following the UNESCO SDGs in their models, applications and ideas, which they also learned to publicly present in an attractive and understandable manner.
The challenges addressed the most relevant and current issues in Slovenia, like climate change, social justice, sustainable energy, and food scarcity. We promoted interdisciplinarity in the teams spanning more than 200 students in the two editions, and put focus on including social sciences like sociology, pedagogy and linguistics.
