REGISTRATION OPEN! – 4th km scale hackathon

NextGEMS, WarmWorld’s closely connected sister project, has already hosted three cycles of successful hackathons. We now look forward to the 4th km-scale-hackathon co-organized by EERIE, WarmWorld and NextGEMS.

Please join us for one week of hacking, finding bugs, fixing bugs, and a lot of fun from March 4th to 8th March 2024 in Hamburg, Germany.

Following NextGEMS’ previous hackathons, this one too will closely engage with topics manifested in the NextGEMS proposal, such as marine ecosystems and fisheries. This will entail exploring such themes intensely in the newest simulations of IFS-FESOM and ICON models, identifying bugs, and bringing forth improvements. In this context, the work around model development pursued at the hackathon will be of great relevance to the problems raised in WarmWorld.

The format of the hackathon centrally aims to connect researchers and foster collaboration in small groups. If you haven’t been to a hackathon, have a look at the NextGEMS Cycle 1, Cycle 2, and Cycle 3 hackathons to get an impression of the atmosphere.
