Administrations, institutions and civil society players will come together on April 23rd and 24th for a 48-hour design and development marathon, led by the Interministerial Department for Public Transformation (DITP) with the support of Ministry of Solidarity and Health, as part of the preparation of France's 3rd “open government” action plan. Objective: to create tools and solutions to combat the pandemic.
The hackathon will take place in two rooms in the same virtual space. The plenary room will host a series of presentations on the various uses of COVID-19 data and related issues. These presentations will be broadcast live and accessible to all. The working room, accessible on registration, is open to anyone with an idea, skill, know-how or curiosity about data, who would like to create joint solutions to combat the pandemic.
