S2Hack4Energy HACKATHON

A joint SPEAR-SIT4Energy event


The rapid progression of the Information and Communication Technology transforms the electrical grid into a new paradigm called Smart Grid. Smart Grid enables the development of smart energy-related applications, considering both efficiency potentials in the local energy production and consumption. However, at the same time, this revolution raises severe cybersecurity issues since Smart Grid is characterized by multiple heterogeneous and interconnected technologies. In this context, the SPEAR (https://www.spear2020.eu/) and SIT4Energy (https://sit4energy.eu) projects join forces towards co-organizing a hackathon event that will focus on innovative approaches on energy-related cyber-security and end-user engagement, respectively.

When?

The hackathon event will consist of 4 challenges (2 per project) and will last two days on 23-24 October 2019.

Where?

The hackathon is available online through the F6S platform: https://www.f6s.com/s2hack4energy.
