In light of the recent tragic earthquake event that took place in Morocco, we, a team of students and researchers at Mila, are organizing a hackathon to sensitise people about the effects these events have had on the affected people and their families and friends and motivateĀ the scientific community to join their efforts to think ahead about the following questions, among others:Ā
- How to improve forecasting for natural disasters from data?Ā
- How to optimizeĀ and democratize access to humanitarian rescue operations and aid?Ā
- How to optimizeĀ the process of (future) infrastructure building, so that we're able to minimize the time for emergency interventions?Ā
The event is in a hybrid format and will take place at Mila, which you can join at the following address:Ā Ā 6650, Saint-Urbain street,Ā H2S 3H1. Montreal, QC.
